ZrO (Zirconium Oxide, Zirconia)

Family:
Weight:107.200
Expansion:0.020
Fusion:0C

(Sources: Zircon opacifiers, Zirconium silicate)

See ZrO2

Zirconia has an inversion with an associated 3% expansion/contraction.

Properties

  • Glaze Color - General

    Zircon is used in stains to stabilize colors.

  • Surface Modifier - Variegation

    ZrO can produce patterns of minute darker and lighter areas in an otherwise drab glaze surface. Significant amounts are needed (e.g. up to 15%).
