Unique microstructure
TZ5 beads show a unique ceramic microstructure obtained from a Saint-Gobain ZirPro patented technology. It consists in a Zirconia – Alumina composite matrix, reinforced with alumina based platelets. These features provide optimized milling efficiency thanks to an intermediate density, and increased hardness and wear resistance for the milling of abrasives slurries.
