FAQs
Zircon Flour Expoter
What is the typical chemical composition and purity of your Zircon Flour?
Our export-grade Zircon Flour features a high-purity profile with a typical combined Zirconium Dioxide and Hafnium Dioxide (ZrO_2 + HfO_2) content of 65.48%. We maintain strict quality control to ensure that the Iron Oxide (Fe_2O_3) content remains strictly < 0.10%, which guarantees premium whiteness and prevents discoloration during high-temperature firing.
What are the primary industrial applications of your 325 Mesh Zircon Flour?
Because of its ultra-low iron matrix and outstanding thermal stability (melting point range between 2200°C – 2400°C), our Zircon Flour is highly sought after across global markets:
Ceramics & Sanitaryware: As a high-performance structural opacifier for glossy glazes, frits, and tiles.
Foundry & Castings: As a premium refractory mold wash coating for high-precision investment castings.
Refractories: For manufacturing thermal-shock-resistant kiln furniture and specialized bricks.What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) and container loadability?
Our Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) starts at 1 Full Container Load (FCL). We load up to 25 to 27 Metric Tons of palletized material securely stuffed per 20ft Heavy Duty ocean container, maximizing your freight cost efficiency.
What particle size configurations do you offer?
Our standard product is processed to a high-precision 325 Mesh standard configuration. It undergoes rigorous multi-stage milling to ensure excellent particle distribution, guaranteeing less than 0.5% sieve residue on 63μ (99.5% passing rate). This ensures exceptional dispersion, uniform blending, and superior opacity in your production mix.
How is the material packed to ensure safe ocean transit?
We strictly adhere to international maritime cargo standards to ensure zero moisture contamination and zero transit damage:
Inner Layer: 25 Kg or 50 Kg multi-layer moisture-proof PP bags with heat-sealed inner HDPE liners.
Bulk Cargo: Securely consolidated into 1.25 Metric Ton UV-stabilized heavy-duty FIBC Jumbo Bags. Palletization: Uniformly stacked on ISPM-15 compliant standard Fumigated Wooden Pallets, secured tightly with industrial-grade heavy plastic stretch wrap.Can we request a pre-shipment laboratory sample?
Yes, absolutely. We welcome technical evaluations. We can arrange rapid international courier dispatch for 1 Kg to 5 Kg laboratory testing samples along with our latest batch XRF analysis and Technical Data Sheet (TDS). Contact our export desk to arrange your trial sample.
