Zirconium Compounds
Zirconium compounds have excellent corrosion resistance, heat resistance and absorptivity. With those superior characteristics, they are used for various applications such as paper coating, polymer crosslinking (crosslinking reaction), electronic materials, fine ceramics and catalysts.
In addition, zirconium compounds are becoming more important material with an expansion of "eco-friendly" chromium free in metal surface treatment.
Nippon Light Metal is able to supply a wide range of zirconium compounds from solution to powder.
We offer high-quality zirconium compounds to Japanese market in cooperation with Nikkei MEL, a joint venture with Luxfer MEL Technologies (Luxfer group) in the U.K., a leading company specializing in zirconium based chemicals.
