Product Specification

Contamination-Free Zirconia Grinding Balls for Analytical Labs and Biotechnology

By special moulding and sintering technology, ZOLI Y-TZP consists of yttrium stabilized zirconium oxide. Yttrium Stabilized Zirconia (Y-TZP) is the strongest ceramic material we offer. Y-TZP is a purely tetragonal phase, fine grain material. This material offers the highest flexural strength of all Zirconia based materials. It gives significant advantages in the fields of resistance to wear and absence of contamination.

Understanding Zirconia Grinding Balls

What Are Yttrium Stabilized Zirconia Beads?

Properties of Zirconia Grinding Media

• High Density: Zirconia's higher density compared to glass and alumina results in superior grinding efficiency and reduced grinding time.
• Durability: The robust mechanical, chemical, and thermal resistance ensure longevity under extreme conditions.
• Thermal Stability: Excellent thermal stability makes zirconia beads ideal for high-temperature applications.
• Low Porosity: Enhances wear resistance and reduces contamination risk.

Applications of Zirconia Grinding Balls

• Pharmaceutical Industry: Used for grinding and milling active pharmaceutical ingredients with minimal contamination.
• Paint and Ink Production: Enhances dispersion efficiency, resulting in high-quality products.
• Ceramic Matrix Composites: Provides high-temperature resistance and excellent ionic conductivity.
• Solid Oxide Fuel Cells: Utilized for their thermal stability and ionic conductivity.
• Lab Milling Operations: Essential for minimizing contamination in analytical labs.

Benefits of Using Contamination-Free Zirconia Grinding Balls

• Contamination-Free Grinding: Ensures that samples remain uncontaminated, preserving their integrity for accurate analysis.
• Reduced Operational Costs: The durability and efficiency of zirconia beads lead to lower power consumption, equipment wear, and media abrasion.
• Improved Product Quality: Superior grinding efficiency contributes to better dispersion and milling results.
• Longevity: The wear resistance and low porosity of zirconia beads extend their lifespan, making them a cost-effective choice.

Choosing the Right Zirconia Grinding Media

• Media Size: Larger media are more efficient in breaking up large particles, while smaller media are better for milling smaller particles due to higher effective contact area.
• Gap Size: Media size should be significantly smaller than the gap size between stirring arms and mill walls to prevent jamming.
• Application Requirements: Consider the specific needs of your application, such as viscosity and desired grinding speed.

●Storage:

The grinding media should be stored in a dry and clean place.
