Zircon replacement is achieved through activation, resulting in a product characterized by a very white color, high brightness, and very low iron content. These qualities provide significant advantages for color-sensitive ceramic and tile products. Nowadays, there is a notable increase in the rate of zirconium powder. Replacement options are becoming comparatively more efficient in pricing and offer better quality in terms of whiteness and shrinkage.
The zirconium replacement produced by our company is suitable for all kinds of ceramic bodies and glazes.
It can effectively replace zirconium silicate in the fine ceramic industry. This alternative offers good stability and has the ability to improve the strength and corrosion resistance of ceramics. Additionally, it primarily contributes to whitening the final products, enhancing their aesthetic appeal.
