General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. Zirconium(IV) oxide is a sustainable catalyst valued for its high thermal stability and eco-friendly nature. It efficiently promotes green chemical reactions such as hydrogenation and oxidation with high selectivity, enabling cleaner processes that reduce waste and energy consumption, thus supporting environmentally responsible industrial applications. Click here for more information.
Zirconium(IV) oxide (ZrO2) which is also known as zirconia is a ceramic nanoparticle that can be used as a nano-filler. It can be incorporated in a variety of polymer and metal composites to improve the thermo-mechanical properties of the base material.

Application

ZrO2 can be used as a filler material on PMMA which can further be used as a high strength denture base material. It can also be used as a composite based metallic coating that can improve the overall mechanical properties of the substrate.
