Applications & Industrial Significance

Zircon sand’s unique chemistry—rich in zirconium dioxide (ZrO₂)—makes it a key refractory mineral used across multiple heavy industries:

  • Refractory Lining & Foundries – Provides superior heat resistance in furnaces, kilns, and molds.
  • Ceramics & Tiles – Improves surface smoothness, hardness, and glaze stability.
  • Metallurgical Processes – Acts as a stabilizing additive in alloy production.
  • Advanced Engineering Materials – Integral in manufacturing high-temperature coatings and composites.

The 3.68 % TiO₂ content further enhances its mechanical resilience, ensuring durability under extreme industrial conditions.
