Ceramic Grade refers to raw materials, additives, and chemicals that meet stringent purity and performance standards required for the production of ceramics, glass, and related advanced materials. These substances are carefully selected and processed to ensure consistency in composition, particle size, and reactivity, which are critical for achieving desired properties in the final ceramic product—such as strength, thermal stability, electrical insulation, or optical clarity. Key ceramic-grade materials include high-purity alumina, silica, zirconia, kaolin, feldspar, and specialized fluxes or binders. They must have controlled levels of impurities (e.g., iron oxides or alkali metals) that could affect sintering behavior, color, or structural integrity. Some advanced applications (like electronic ceramics or bioceramics) demand ultra-fine powders with precise particle size distributions. Their formulation and processing adhere to industry-specific standards to ensure reproducibility and performance in high-temperature firing or other manufacturing steps.
Zinc Oxide USP is an inorganic white powder composed primarily of ZnO. It is widely used as a functional additive in rubber, ceramics, glass, paints, and chemical industries. Known for its excellent chemical stability, UV-absorbing capability, and reactivity with acids and alkalis, this grade is tailored for industrial applications where high purity is not mandatory but consistent quality and performance are essential.
