Zirconium dioxide by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. Also known as zirconia, this compound is an oxide of zirconium. The reagent is available as a crystalline white powder which is poorly soluble in water. It has a melting point of 2715 C and a boiling point of 4300 C. Zirconia can be generated by calcining zirconium compounds, by exploiting its high thermal stability. While this compound is stable under general conditions, it is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents and must be stored carefully. CAS No.: 1314-23-4 Quantity Provided: 500 gm per bottle Molecular formula: ZrO2 Molecular weight: 123.22 Assay: minimum 99 % Analytical grade reagentZirconium dioxide has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. It finds applications in the organic synthesis of various derivative compounds. Zirconia is majorly used to produce dental products which include hard cements. It is furthermore used as a protective coating on particles of titanium dioxide pigments, as a refractory material, in insulation, abrasives and enamels. Lead zirconate titanate, a high-K dielectric is derived from zirconia. Furthermore, stabilized zirconia is employed in oxygen sensors and fuel cell membranes. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
