RPZ Valve
Zirconia (ZrO2) balls are advanced ceramic grinding media known for their exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and chemical stability, making them ideal for demanding industrial applications.
| Property | Zirconia Balls | Alumina Balls | Steel Balls |
|---|---|---|---|
| Density (g/cm³) | 6.0–6.2 | 3.6–3.9 | 7.8–8.0 |
| Wear Rate | ≤4 ppm/hr | 10–20 ppm/hr | High (rust/contamination) |
| Chemical Resistance | Excellent (acid/alkali) | Good (except HF) | Poor (corrodes) |
| Cost | Higher | Moderate | Low |
| Industry | Application | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Coatings | Pigment grinding, dispersion | ↑30% coverage, ↓ fragmentation pollution |
| Inks | Inkjet/printer ink homogenization | Enhanced dispersion, reduced nozzle clogging |
| Plastics | Filler for engineering plastics (e.g., PEEK) | ↑ Mechanical strength, wear resistance |
| Pharmaceuticals | Nanomaterial grinding | Contamination-free processing due to inertness |
