UrbanMines: Setting a New Industry Benchmark for Zirconium Basic Carbonate Through Ultra-High Purity

In advanced materials, impurity content often caps the performance of finished products. UrbanMines fully recognizes this core principle. We supply not only zirconium basic carbonate (ZBC) but also customized high-purity material solutions tailored to diverse industrial applications.

Basic Product Information

Zirconium Basic Carbonate (abbreviated ZBC, CAS No. 57219-64-4) is a white powder that is non-toxic and odorless. It dissolves readily in mineral acids such as hydrochloric acid, soluble in carbonate solutions, yet insoluble in water. As a vital intermediate for manufacturing various zirconium compounds, it is widely used in coatings, papermaking, leather processing, cosmetics, structural ceramics, optical storage materials, automotive exhaust catalysts, paint driers and other sectors.

Cosmetics Industry — Purity Guaranteed From the Source

The purity of cosmetic raw materials directly determines the safety and stability of end products. UrbanMines HZ Series zirconium basic carbonate is specially developed for cosmetic applications. Adopting extremely stringent impurity control standards, it delivers reliable zirconium raw material supply for high-end skincare products, antiperspirants and other items.

◆ For cosmetic applications

Technical Explanation

Lead oxide (PbO) and arsenic trioxide (As₂O₃) are hazardous elements subject to strict limits in cosmetics. The HZ Series restricts PbO below 0.0003% and As₂O₃ below 0.2000%, with sodium oxide (Na₂O) controlled as low as 0.0003%, ensuring complete safety and stable performance in end cosmetic products.

Paint & Coatings Industry — Balanced Drying Efficiency and Coating Quality

In paint and coating manufacturing, zirconium basic carbonate serves as a core component of high-efficiency driers. Its purity directly impacts drying speed and surface finish of coating films. UrbanMines YQ Series features precise impurity control, enabling coating manufacturers to maintain consistent production quality.

◆ For paint applications

Technical Explanation

Iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) limited to ≤0.0015% effectively prevents discoloration of coating films caused by metal ions. Rigorous control of silica (SiO₂) and titanium dioxide (TiO₂) guarantees excellent dispersibility and chemical reactivity of the drier, making it suitable for high-end coatings and ink systems.

High-End Advanced Industries — CH Series Designed for Extreme Purity Requirements

For applications with near-zero tolerance for impurities, UrbanMines CH Series zirconium basic carbonate is the ideal solution. Featuring impurity levels far below conventional industry thresholds, this product line caters to cutting-edge sectors including structural ceramics, optical storage materials and automotive exhaust catalysts.

Technical Explanation

The CH Series achieves coordinated control of multiple indicators: Fe₂O₃ ≤0.0015%, Na₂O ≤0.0100%, SiO₂ ≤0.0100%, Cl⁻ ≤0.0200%. It is particularly well-suited for high-purity demanding scenarios such as structural ceramic sintering, optical storage substrates and three-way catalyst carriers for automobile exhaust treatment.

Papermaking Industry — Two Production Routes: Ammonium Process & Sodium Process

In papermaking, zirconium basic carbonate acts as a surface treatment agent and water-resistant crosslinker, whose performance is closely tied to production processes. UrbanMines ZZ Series offers two product variants based on ammonium and sodium synthesis routes to match diverse papermaking processes.

Ammonium Route Specifications (ZZ Grade)

◆ For papermaking applications

Sodium Route Specifications (ZZ Grade)

◆ For papermaking applications

Technical Explanation

The ammonium-process product features strict Na₂O control (≤0.0100%), ideal for papermaking formulations sensitive to sodium ions. The sodium-process variant delivers a cost-effective option while maintaining core standards: Fe₂O₃ ≤0.0050% and SiO₂ ≤0.0100%. Both routes cap chloride ions at ≤0.1000%, eliminating the risk of chloride-induced corrosion to papermaking equipment.
