Description

Chlorohydroxyoxozirconium is a specialized zirconium-based inorganic compound with the CAS number 18428-88-1. This material serves as a versatile precursor and catalyst in advanced material synthesis, valued for its unique combination of zirconium's stability with reactive chloride and hydroxyl functionalities. It is essential for manufacturers and R&D facilities in the ceramics, catalyst, and specialty chemical industries seeking to develop high-performance materials.

Application

• Ceramic Precursor: Used in the sol-gel synthesis of advanced zirconia (ZrO₂) ceramics and coatings, imparting high thermal stability and mechanical strength.
• Catalyst & Catalyst Support: Acts as a catalyst precursor or support material in organic synthesis and petroleum refining processes.
• Surface Modification Agent: Employed to functionalize surfaces of oxides and other materials to alter adhesion, wettability, or catalytic properties.
• Cross-linking Agent: Utilized in polymer chemistry to introduce inorganic cross-links, enhancing the thermal and chemical resistance of polymeric materials.
• Flame Retardant Additive: Incorporated into polymers and textiles to improve fire resistance due to zirconium's char-forming and barrier properties.
• Specialty Glass & Optical Coatings: Serves as a component in the formulation of glasses and thin-film coatings with specific refractive indices.
