General description

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.
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.
