Product Overview

This zirconium(IV) oxide colloidal dispersion delivers a stable 20% concentration of high-purity ZrO₂ nanoparticles uniformly suspended in deionized water. The dispersion is engineered for exceptional stability, preventing agglomeration while maintaining consistent particle distribution. The zirconia particles exhibit a high surface area, making this product particularly effective in applications requiring enhanced reactivity or surface interactions. The colloidal form ensures easy integration into aqueous systems without requiring additional dispersion steps. This product is produced under controlled conditions to minimize impurities, ensuring reliable performance in sensitive applications. The dispersion’s neutral pH and low viscosity allow for straightforward handling and processing. It is compatible with a wide range of additives and binders, making it versatile for formulation adjustments. The material’s thermal stability and chemical inertness further extend its utility in high-temperature processes. This product is supplied in sealed containers to preserve its colloidal stability during storage and transport.

FAQs

1. What is the particle size range of the zirconia in this dispersion?

The dispersion contains zirconia nanoparticles typically in the 10-50 nm range, though exact size distribution may vary slightly between batches.

2. Can this dispersion be mixed with organic solvents?

Direct mixing with organic solvents may cause destabilization. For solvent compatibility, gradual addition with vigorous stirring is recommended, or consider using a surfactant.

3. What is the shelf life of this colloidal dispersion?

When stored unopened in original packaging at room temperature, the dispersion maintains stability for 12 months from the date of manufacture.

4. Does this product require any special handling precautions?

While non-toxic, standard lab precautions apply. Avoid skin contact and inhalation of mist. Use in well-ventilated areas and wear appropriate PPE.

5. How should I dispose of unused dispersion?

Follow local regulations for chemical waste disposal. The material can typically be neutralized and disposed of as non-hazardous waste after confirming with local authorities.
