What is it?

Zirconium oxide (or cubic zirconia) is a polymorphous crystalline substance chemically extracted from zirconium silicate and baddeleyite.

Properties

Thanks to its crystalline structure, it displays excellent mechanical resistance to stress and the following useful characteristics, making it valuable for a number of applications. This is the most elastic and robust technical ceramic, and therefore the least fragile: the elasticity and heat expansion coefficients are similar to those of steel.

Applications

Zirconium oxide offers exceptional properties. It is therefore an important material in a wide range of mechanical, electronic, nuclear and design applications. Moreover, zirconium oxide has no systematic toxicity, making it ideal for use in dentistry.

Zirconium oxide properties:

Excellent hardness
Chemical and heat resistance
Good resistance to temperature changes
Low heat conductivity
Low heat expansion
High resistance to wear
Low attrition rate
Resistance to fracturing
High resistance to chemical aggression
Excellent aesthetic qualities not achievable by metals

Products made using zirconium oxide:

Plastic processing applications
Cutting tools
Tubing and conduits
Spheres
Extrusion tools
High-performance ceramic tubes
Sealing technologies
Automotive bearings
Dental implants
Jewellery
Accessories
