From bathrooms to life enhancing medical implants, learn more about the extraordinary uses of zircon in our modern world.
Zircon sand is not corrosive to metal and, therefore, is not a candidate for classification as a corrosive in bulk.
Zirconium dioxide (or zirconia) provides a high strength, wear resistant, chemically inert and non-toxic surface ideal for medical implants.
Radiation levels from zircon are low, whilst zirconia and zirconium metal are not radioactive.
