Product Details
Zircon sand
Zircon, also known as zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4), is found in
ancient mineral placers. Zircon comes in the form of crystal sand,
usually brown, but it can also range from colorless to golden
yellow, from pink and red to blue and green.
Mineral sand deposits are formed along the ancient coastline, in
which the heavier minerals are concentrated by the action of waves
and wind. Most of the zircon sand is mined in Australia and the
African continent, and the current global annual output exceeds one
million tons. The mining of ore can be either dry mining or wet
mining (dredge) mining.
The main use of zircon sand is to convert it into flour, sunscreen,
fused zirconia, zirconium chemicals, chemical zirconia and metallic
zirconium. Zircon sand is used directly in foundry applications,
refractory materials and other secondary applications.

Zircon sand application
Zircon sand is extremely resistant to high temperatures, with a
melting point of 2750. And resistant to acid corrosion. 80% of the
world is directly used in the foundry industry, ceramics, glass
industry and refractory material manufacturing. A small amount is
used in ferroalloy, pharmaceutical, paint, leather, abrasive,
chemical and nuclear industries. Very little is used for smelting
metal zirconium.
Advantages of zircon sand
Zircon sand is used in the production of refractory materials,
foundry sand, precision enamelware and glass, metal and zirconium
compounds. It can make zircon bricks, zircon bricks, ramming
materials and castables for steel drums with glass furnaces.
Company Profile
Our mine company established in 2003,and its trade company ,Qingdao
Jinjunxuan International Trade Co.,Ltd,founded in 2018, relying on
the group's logistics advantages and rubber trade experience,
Jinjunxuan international has been shouldering the responsibility of
group logistics business development and model transformation since
its establishment.
In 2019, In view of the fierce competition in the raw material
market, we pay more attention to the quality of products and firmly
believe in the concept of "quality-oriented, honest operation". We
also rely on mine company technical advantage to develop customized
products.
Using our product, the casting is easy to be shelled, not deformed,
not easy to shrink, with good finish and high yield. After that,
remind the customer not to be greedy for cheap choice of cheap sand
so as not to affect the casting finished products.
It is recommended to choose the products of regular mullite
manufacturers with reasonable price, quality and more guarantee. We
hope that through our efforts and careful service, we can provide
customers with cost-effective products and contribute to the
development of the investment casting industry.
