Saint-Gobain ZirPro offers a unique ceramic powders: UprYZe®

UprYZe is an innovative ceramic powder which exhibits, depending on the composition, either outstanding mechanical  performance or superior wear and hydrothermal resistance.The secret of UprYZe performances lies in its composite alumina-zirconia microstructure engineered and tailored by ZirPro R&D experts.Two grades of UprYZe with different properties and composition are commercially available:

- UprYZe-Intense which shows excellent wear and hydrothermal resistance. This grade is of interest for ceramic parts operating in harsh conditions such as in the oil & gas industry

- UprYZe-Shock which exhibits outstanding toughness (>14 MPa.m^1/2) and impact resistance making it a material of choice for mechanically demanding application  

Market feedbacks have confirmed the potential of UprYZe grades, for example, in automotive or chemical sectors as potential replacement of not only existing ceramic parts but also metals and polymers components. To learn more about UprYZe grades please consult the dedicated webpage
