Description:
Zircon Sand and Zircon Flour are derived from natural zirconium silicate (ZrSiO₄), a highly stable and durable mineral. Zircon Sand is a coarse, granular form of zircon, while Zircon Flour is a fine powder produced by grinding and processing the sand. These products are valued for their high melting point, chemical inertness, and exceptional hardness, making them ideal for a wide range of industrial and manufacturing applications.

Both Zircon Sand and Zircon Flour are extracted from heavy mineral deposits and then processed for use in various industries such as foundries, ceramics, refractories, and electronics. Their ability to withstand extreme conditions makes them indispensable in high-performance applications.

Applications:
Zircon Sand:

•  Foundry Industry:
  Molding sand for metal casting due to its high thermal stability and excellent molding properties.
• Refractory Industry:
  Used in the production of high-temperature refractory materials such as bricks and linings for furnaces, kilns, and reactors.
• Ceramics:
  As an opacifier in the production of porcelain and tiles, improving the aesthetic quality and durability of ceramics.
• Glass Manufacturing:
  Added to glass formulations to improve durability and control the refractive index.

Zircon Flour:

• Foundries:For making high-precision investment molds and cores, especially for aerospace and automotive casting.
• Ceramics and Glass:
  Used as a fluxing agent and opacifier in the production of fine ceramics, glazes, and decorative glass.
• Refractories:
  High-temperature castables and coatings in industries like steel, cement, and petrochemicals.
• Polishing and Abrasive Industry:
  Used as a fine abrasive agent for polishing and finishing high-precision components.

Key Features & Benefits:
a) High Thermal Stability: Zircon Sand and Zircon Flour can withstand extreme temperatures up to 1800°C without decomposition, making them ideal for high-temperature applications.

b) Chemical Inertness: Both products are chemically stable and resistant to most acids, alkalis, and other reactive substances, ensuring durability in harsh environments.

c) Excellent Molding Properties: Zircon Sand is used extensively in metal casting due to its ability to maintain shape and prevent defects.

d) Hardness & Durability: With a Mohs hardness of 7.5-8, these products are highly durable and abrasion-resistant, making them valuable in abrasive and polishing applications.

e) Opacity and Aesthetic Qualities: Zircon Flour acts as an effective opacifier, enhancing the appearance and structural integrity of ceramics and glass.

f) Low Expansion: Low thermal expansion rates in both products contribute to high dimensional stability under heat.
