SILICATE DE ZIRCONIUM

ZIRCONIUM SILICATE

SILIZIRV


Molar formula :SiO2ZrO2

Molar mass: 183.00

Zirconium silicate, in powder form, is used in ceramics as an opacifier for glazes.

(less expensive than tin oxide, another opacifying and whitening agent of the glaze).

Added to a glaze -10% dry weight compared to the glaze, it will give after firing an opaque white glaze.

This flux is more milky than tin oxide and requires higher concentrations.
