Product Overview
Zirconium Oxide Nanopowder, often known as zirconia (ZrO2), is a highly durable ceramic material notable for its exceptional resistance to heat and corrosion. This nanopowder form increases the material’s surface area, enhancing its chemical reactivity and mechanical properties. Zirconia is typically synthesized using methods like hydrothermal synthesis, which ensure high purity and consistent nanoparticle size distribution. It is prized for its excellent thermal insulation capabilities and structural strength.
