Zirconium Basic Carbonate (ZBC): for purity and reactivity

Backed by its strong technical and industrial expertise in zirconium chemistry, ZIrPro developed two grades of ZBC that are the standard in the marketplace. Through an optimized chemical formulation, S-ZBC offers high dissolution ability in mineral and organic acids and alkaline solutions, allowing consistent and cost-effective manufacturing of zirconium-based species used in final applications (hydroxychlorides, octoates, acetates, double carbonates and more).

Specific modifications and adjustments in the manufacturing process of SN-ZBC deliver the highest level of chemical purity to meet the most demanding requirements in applications such as catalysis.

A complete range of Zirconium Chemicals

In addition to Zirconium Basic Carbonates, ZirPro offers a comprehensive range of high-purity zirconium chemicals for industrial applications:

• ZOC, zirconium oxychloride (ZrOCl₂, 8H₂O): ZOC is the first chemical product derived from processing zircon sand ores. It is the starting point for the manufacture of all other zirconium chemicals or high-purity zirconium dioxides and also can be used directly in applications like TiO₂ pigment coating.
• AZST, zirconium sulfate (Zr(SO₄)₂, 4H₂O): Readily soluble in water, AZST is used in coating TiO₂ pigments or in the secondary tanning of leather.
• ZHO, zirconium hydroxide (Zr(OH)₄): ZHO is used as a precursor for manufacturing advanced zirconium dioxide powders.
