ZirPro Thermal Zirconia Grades

Thermal zirconia grades are manufactured using ZirPro proprietary processes which combine zircon sand fusion and chemical treatments.

ZirPro offers three grades of thermal zirconia: CC, CS and CF. Thermal zirconia are manufactured in France for CC and CS grades and in the USA for CF grades.

THERMAL ZIRCONIA GRADES OFFER HIGHER REACTIVITY THAN FUSED POWDERS THANKS TO THEIR UNIQUE DENDRITIC PARTICLE MORPHOLOGIES

CC Zirconia

CC grades are thermal zirconia made by fusion of zirconium silicate at high temperature combined with chemical treatments. Thanks to ZirPro unique process, CC powders offer higher reactivity than fused zirconia.

CC powders offer a wide range of d50 and SSA:• D50 from 3.5 µm to 0.7µm• Typical specific surface areas from 3.0 to 6.0 m²/g

CC POWDERS SHOW HIGH REACTIVITY THANKS TOA UNIQUE DENDRITIC MORPHOLOGY

CC grades are recommended for applications requiring pure thermal zirconia powders.

Thermal ZrO2

CS Zirconia

CS grades are obtained through the purification of CC thermal zirconia leading to powders with increased purity together with a better control of the specific surface area (SSA).Similarly to CC grades, CS powders show zirconia particles with unique and uniform dentritic morphology offering higher reactivity than fused zirconia.

A large range of d50 and SSA is achievable:• D50 from 3.5µm to 0.6µm• Typical specific surface area from 1.5 to 6.5 m2/g

CS GRADES EXHIBIT SUPERIOR PURITY COMPARED TO CC GRADES

CS powders are used in applications requiring reactive premium grades of thermal zirconia with high level of purity.

CF Zirconia

CF grades are thermal zirconia powders produced by the fusion of zirconium silicate using plasma arc followed by chemical treatments.The plasma technology enables achieving the highest reactivity among all thermal zirconia grades regardless of the particle size.

CF zirconia offers high specific surface area typically around 6 m²/g and particle size ranging from 7.0 to 1.0 µm.Soft agglomerates around 95µm are also available for specific applications (see CF grade on next page).
