SiLibeads® grinding ceramic beads type ZY 6.0 are made of stabilized zirconium oxide/yttria and feature extremely high wear resistance. Contamination of the milled material with zirconium and yttrium is very low. This is excellent quality, ranking among the best on the market.
Applications:
In the paint and coatings industry, ceramic beads type ZC 6.0 are suitable for grinding and dispersing paint and color systems, organic and inorganic pigments, and for coloring textiles, plastics, and food.
In the ceramics industry, they are used for grinding and processing electroceramics, glaze preparation, magnetic ceramics such as ferrites, and materials for technical/mechanical components.
Crop protection – ceramic beads ZC 6.0 are used for dispersing fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides.
In the cosmetic industry, ceramic beads are used for grinding pigments, creams, and in lipstick manufacturing.
In the pharmaceutical field, type ZY 6.0 is used for fine grinding and production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API).
For battery materials, ceramic beads type 6.0 are used to prepare and finely grind various cathode and anode materials, for example in lithium-ion batteries.
Advantages:
Ceramic beads type ZY 6.0 have high density, fine-grained structure, highly polished surface, excellent roundness, and high wear resistance. Since they are non-radioactive, they are suitable for pharmaceutical use. SiLibeads® ceramic beads type ZY 6.0 can be sterilized.
