Description
A common name for natural or synthetic zirconium oxide. Synthetic zirconia can be prepared as a clear high refractive index crystal that is used as a synthetic diamond. It can also be prepared as a hard, dense, white ceramic material used for high temperature insulation and abrasives. Zircon is also used as a glaze ingredient, a catalyst, a refractory material in fire brick, and an opacifier in ceramics.
See Zirconium oxide and Cubic zirconia.
