About Zircon Flour
Zircon, commonly known as zirconium silicate (ZrSiO4), is a by product of heavy mineral sand mining and processing. Zircon can be utilised in its natural state as a coarse sand or crushed into a fine powder. Its qualities allow it to be utilised in a variety of daily products, such as ceramic tiles and medical implants, as well as in a variety of industrial applications. Zircon flour is made by milling zircon sand, commonly in ball mills, in either a dry or a slurry state. Ceramic glazes, glass, refractories, and polymers all require zircon flour. It's perfect for glazing frits as an opacifier. Small amounts of zircon can help improve the mechanical strength of glass and give glass fibres used in glass reinforced concrete alkali resistance. Rapid industrialisation has led to growth of the zircon flour market. Globally, Asia Pacific primarily China is the largest market of Zircon flour.
