Zircon sand is a naturally occurring mineral composed of zirconium, silicon, and oxygen. It is highly valued for its high refractory properties, making it resistant to heat and corrosion. Once extracted from our mineral-rich deposits, this raw material undergoes a series of processing steps, like grinding and magnetic separation, to obtain a high-quality zircon sand product.
Zircon sand is widely used in the production of ceramics, refractory materials, and foundry casting molds due to its ability to withstand extreme temperatures and its excellent thermal expansion properties. Additionally, it is utilized in the manufacturing of zirconium metal, a crucial material in aerospace components, nuclear reactors, and various chemical processing equipment.
