Zirconium dioxide CAS 1314-23-4

What is Zirconium dioxide CAS 1314-23-4?

Zirconium dioxide CAS 1314-23-4, also known as zirconia, is primarily manufactured through processes such as solvent extraction and separation from zircon or baddeleyite ores, followed by precipitation, calcination, or thermal treatments, and often stabilized with additives like yttria or magnesia to control phase transformations, serving as a cornerstone material in refractories, electronics, dentistry, and structural ceramics.

Specification

Feature
