Zircon Sand (CAS NO : 14940-68-2)

Zirconium silicate (CAS 14940-68-2) remains a vital feedstock for the North American high-performance ceramics and investment casting sectors, where its exceptional opacity and thermal stability at temperatures exceeding 1,500°C drive demand for premium grade refractory materials. As the United States pivots toward securing a more resilient mineral supply chain, high purity fine chemicals derived from zircon are seeing a surge in procurement from custom synthesis services tasked with developing specialty alloys for aerospace and defense applications. Zircon flour has become a strategic priority for bulk chemical supplier diversification as domestic manufacturers seek to mitigate logistics risks and navigate stricter environmental compliance while supporting the rapid expansion of nuclear-grade fuel programs and advanced dental ceramic production. As an established Zircon Sand supplier with Zircon Sand >= 99% purity in the united states of america, we ensure dependable supply, consistent quality, and complete regulatory documentation, including Zircon Sand CoA and TDS across all grades. Beyond supply, we support partners through the entire sourcing lifecycle from extraction, process scale-up, pilot-to-commercial manufacturing. Our teams also assist with OSHA and EPA compliance, quality assurance, regulatory documentation, and nationwide supply chain capabilities and logsitics coordination on all the 50 united states region

Applications of Zircon Sand

Ceramics Industry

An opacifier and whitening agent used in the production of floor tiles, wall tiles, sanitary ware, and glazes to enhance whiteness, hardness, and abrasion resistance

Foundry Industry

A primary refractory material used for face coats in precision investment casting and as a molding material in sand casting due to its high thermal stability and resistance to molten metal erosion

Refractory Industry

A raw material used to manufacture refractory bricks, furnace linings, and mortars that maintain strength and chemical resistance at high temperatures

Glass Industry

A stabilizing agent added to glass formulations to improve thermal and chemical stability and used in older CRT and plasma screens to absorb X-rays

Zirconium Chemicals and Metal Production

A precursor for the production of zirconium dioxide, zirconium chemicals, and zirconium metal used in nuclear fuel cladding and chemical processing equipment.

Zircon Sand is a naturally occurring mineral composed of zirconium silicate (ZrSiO4) found in ancient mineral sand deposits, it is primarily used for its high thermal stability, hardness, and chemical resistance in applications like foundry casting, refractory bricks, and ceramic glazes

This mineral is universally utilized in the ceramics, foundry, refractory, glass, and electronics industries, as well as in specialty applications like precision investment casting and nuclear fuel production

It is commonly used in ceramic glazes, foundry coatings, shell molds, cores, ladle bricks, and high-temperature furnace linings, often processed into finely ground zircon flour

Standard specifications include a minimum ZrO2 content of 65-66%, a melting point of approximately 2200-2205 degrees Celsius, Mohs hardness of 7.5, specific gravity of 4.6-4.8, and documentation such as COA, TDS, impurity reports, and regulatory compliance documents

Scimplify has capabilities for global distribution and custom synthesis through an integrated network of manufacturers and logistics partners with reliable lead time

The product is export ready with a standard MOQ starting from 10000 kgs, with lead times for international customers depending on the shipping destination and specific grade.
