🔹 Health & Safety Information
⚠ Zirconium Sponge should be handled carefully to avoid inhalation of dust particles during machining or processing. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, eye protection, and a dust mask to prevent inhalation of zirconium dust.
⚠ Avoid exposure to high heat or flame, as zirconium can react with oxygen at elevated temperatures, potentially leading to combustion.

 

🔹 Production Method & Equipment
Zirconium Sponge is typically produced using a reduction process where zirconium tetrachloride is reduced with magnesium or calcium. This results in the formation of high-purity zirconium metal in sponge form. The product is then sieved and processed into different particle sizes, ranging from 3mm to 25mm. High-quality production equipment is used to maintain purity and consistency in every batch.
