Product Description
Zircosil is the registered name of Jyoti Ceramic Industries Pvt. Ltd. for their proprietary formulated Zirconium Silicate composite, specially developed for upper medium density (4.4 g/cm3) ceramic micro milling beads used for wet milling/dispersion of formulation. Fraunhofer Institute, Freising, Germany has approved Zircosil ceramic micro milling beads for milling of food in accordance with the regulations of the European community.
Applications :
- Zircosil beads can conveniently replace glass and most of ceramic beads due to their superior features and cost economics.
- Zircosil beads are most ideally suited for dispersion and micro fine milling of low and medium viscous pigments.
- Agro chemicals : Fungicides, Herbicides pesticides.
- Dyestuff : Textile dyes, Textile Inks. Cosmetics. Food Stuff. Inks : Printing inks, Inkjet - Magnetic inks, Tattoo inks.
- Minerals : Calcium Carbonate, Talc. Oxides : Titanium Dioxide.
- Paints & Varnishes : Auto & allied paints, Decorative & Marine paints. Pharmaceuticals.
- Zircosil beads are also used for shot peening treatment on metal surfaces, metal polishing, contact eye lenses polishing and a host of many other applications.
BENEFITS OF USING ZIRCOSIL MICROBEADS
- Zircosil beads, are of upper medium-density (4.4 g/cm3) tough and sapphire hard (9 Moh's scale), ideally suited for speedy dispersion/milling of hard and soft substances in high-low speed, horizontal and vertical type bead mills, attritor, turbo, and pearl mills.
- Zircosil beads being of low co-efficient of friction, having glossy satin-smooth surface are most gentle to expensive mill parts.
- Zircosil beads are free from pinholes, cracks, and beads fused with other beads, resulting in reduced downtime and greater process safety. During a change of formulation process, cleaning and washing of beads are faster & less cumbersome.
- Zircosil microbeads are sintered at 1400 0C, have a dense and homogeneous internal microstructure, due to which the beads maintain a satin-smooth surface finish and do not crack or shatter easily.
