Zirconium Silicate Opasifier
Zircon is a mineral belonging to the group of nesosilicates. Its chemical name is zirconium silicate and its corresponding chemical formula is ZrSiO4. Hafnium is almost always present in quantities ranging from 1 to 4%. The crystal structure of zircon is tetragonal crystal system. The natural color of zircon varies between colorless, yellow-golden, red, brown, and green. Colorless specimens that show gem quality are a popular substitute for diamond; these specimens are also known as "Matura diamond". It is not to be confused with cubic zirconia, a synthetic substance with a completely different chemical composition.Zirconium silicate produced by milling the natural zircon sand, is widely used as an Opacifier for Sanitary ware, pottery, porcelain glazes, Wall tiles, roofing tiles, electrical porcelain, Frit for glaze and enamels Admixture for Glass, Opal glass, TV tubes, Zircon bricks, special refractories, castable refractories, Epoxy Resin, special paints, etc. Various range of Zirconium Silicate is available with different composition like Zircon - 2,Zircon - 5 (Standard),Zircon - 5 (Premium), Zircon - 10,Zircon - 15 etc.
