Zirconia - unstabilised - ZrO₂99

Goodfellow offers high-purity unstabilized Zirconia (ZrO₂ 99%) for advanced applications in research and industry. This ceramic material is known for its excellent hardness, wear resistance, and chemical inertness. Unstabilized zirconia also exhibits high strength and toughness at room temperature, along with good thermal insulation properties. It finds widespread use in industries such as abrasives, refractories, and advanced ceramics manufacturing. In abrasive applications, it is crucial for creating durable grinding media and polishing compounds. The refractory industry utilizes this material in high-temperature furnace linings and crucibles. In advanced ceramics manufacturing, it serves as a key raw material for producing specialized zirconia-based composites. Emerging technologies benefiting from unstabilized zirconia include next-generation ceramic armor systems and advanced thermal barrier coatings for extreme environments. Goodfellow's provision of high-purity unstabilized zirconia supports cutting-edge research in materials science, particularly in developing materials for applications requiring exceptional hardness and chemical resistance. Its unique combination of mechanical and chemical properties ensures unstabilized zirconia's continued importance in both scientific exploration and industrial innovation, especially in contexts where pure zirconia's characteristics are essential for performance or further processing.
