Why SCI-25

Key Performance Benefits

Engineered for maximum cost efficiency, superior firing brightness, and consistent manufacturing performance.

Balanced Zirconium (24.63%)

High ZrO₂ content provides excellent optical opacity and superior body whiteness index.

High Alumina Content

52.38% Al₂O₃ enhances mechanical strength, MOR, and thermal shock resistance during high-temp firing.

Low Iron Content

Ultra-low Fe₂O₃ (0.23%) prevents yellowish tint, promoting brighter final fired products.

Thermal & Chemical Stability

Maintains dimensional integrity and chemical stability across diverse kiln firing cycles.

Smooth Surface Finish

Enhances surface smoothness, producing pinhole-free textures across tiles and tableware.

Cost-Effective Replacement

Acts as a direct zirconium replacement, substantially lowering batch raw material costs.

Reliable Batch Quality

Strict lab controls ensure uniform composition and consistent firing performance batch after batch.

Manufacturing Efficiency

Integrates seamlessly into existing slip-house, ball mill, and spray-drying operations.
