Problem solving: Completely solved the problems of decreased dimensional accuracy, sealing failure, frequent replacement, etc. caused by rapid wear of metal plungers under high-speed and high-pressure working conditions, greatly extending the service life and maintenance cycle of the equipment. - Outstanding corrosion resistance
Function description: Zirconia is an inert ceramic material that can withstand the corrosion of most highly corrosive media such as acids, alkalis, and salts without undergoing chemical reactions.
Problem solving: Perfectly addressing the transportation challenges of corrosive liquids in fields such as chemical, pharmaceutical, and electroplating, avoiding the risk of metal plungers being easily corroded, rusting, contaminating media, deteriorating performance, and even breaking. - High mechanical strength and toughness
Function description: Through phase transition toughening technology, oxidized ceramics not only have high hardness, but also possess fracture toughness far exceeding that of ordinary ceramics, with very high bending strength and compressive strength.
Problem solving: Overcoming the weakness of traditional ceramics’ brittleness, it can withstand high working pressure and certain impact loads, prevent brittle fracture during assembly or accidental collision, and greatly improve reliability. - 自己潤滑性と低摩擦係数
Function description: Zirconia ceramics have a low friction coefficient when ground against most materials and have a certain self-lubricating effect on certain media.
Problem solving: Reduced operational resistance, minimized heat and power losses caused by friction, resulting in smoother and more energy-efficient equipment operation, while also reducing wear on matching seals. - Excellent insulation and non-magnetic properties
Function description: Zirconia is an excellent insulator and completely non-magnetic.
Problem solving: Suitable for special occasions such as electronics, semiconductors, medical MRI, etc. that are sensitive to electromagnetic interference or require non-magnetic environments. - Biocompatibility and high cleanliness
Function description: Zirconia ceramics have a dense and smooth surface, no pores, no adsorption of media, and are non-toxic and harmless to human tissues, with good biocompatibility.
Problem solving: In the food, pharmaceutical, and medical industries, the risk of product contamination is eliminated, and it is easy to clean and sterilize, fully complying with strict hygiene standards such as FDA and GMP.
