ZrO₂ - Zirconium Oxide

Zirconia Fiber Products Zirconia fiber products are lightweight refractory materials made from yttria-stabilized zirconia fibers. They exhibit no phase transformation and excellent dimensional stability at high temperatures. They can be processed into boards, custom-shaped components, and other geometries with adjustable density. These materials are capable of long-term operation in extreme environments up to 2200°C and offer excellent corrosion resistance.

Characteristic

High-Temperature Resistance: Maximum service temperature up to 2400°C, with long-term use capability at 2200°C.

Extremely Low Thermal Conductivity: 0.099 W/m·K (at 1400°C), providing outstanding thermal insulation performance.
