zilight® ultra-small nanozirconia undoped grades

1 of 2 products in this brand
Zilight® Ultra-Small Nanozirconia Undoped Grades offers zirconia nanoparticles dispersed in various media to be used in a wide range of applications. Our nanoparticles can be used as nanofillers in composite materials, for example in dental composites where they bring radiopacity and improve mechanical properties. zilight® ultra-small nanozirconia undoped grades are compatible with all dental monomers. They can also be used in nanostructured inorganic coatings or in composite coatings, where they increase the refractive index and abrasion and scratch resistance of the material. They can also be used for example in ceramic filters, catalysis and thermal insulation, and as sintering additives.
