Zirconium Silicate

Zirconium silicate is a widely used opacifier in ceramics to enhance the whiteness and opacity of glazes and pastes. Its high thermal and chemical stability makes it ideal for applications in earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain, ensuring uniform and durable finishes. Additionally, it helps control the thermal expansion of glazes, reducing the risk of cracking. It is also used in the formulation of matte and satin glazes, providing texture and durability. Thanks to its resistance to acids and wear, it is a key material in both technical and decorative ceramics, delivering high-quality finishes.
