Successful launch of new 3mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia powders

Saint-Gobain ZirPro recently released new grades of 3 mol% Y₂O₃-stabilized zirconia (Y-TZP) powders: CY3Z-RA, CY3Z-RS and GY3Z-R60.

These grades are the results of an extensive R&D work aiming at achieving a powder with fine and homogeneous particle size, high purity and excellent process ability. Depending on the process used by ZirPro customers, two types of powder are available:

• CY3Z-R grades for injection molding, 3D-printing or casting dry powder
• GY3Z-R60 (ready-to-press granules)  for  uniaxial and cold isostatic pressing (CIP)

CY3Z-R & GY3Z-R60 grades have proven to be excellent choices for advanced structural ceramics applications where process ability, mechanical performance and reliability are key like for instance in food or industrial sectors. Thanks high quality production standards, GY3Z-R60 is also used in the manufacturing of blanks for posterior teeth replacement in dental application.
