Product information

MELsperse yttria zirconia

MELsperse nano dispersions offer the perfect starting material to produce nano grainsized ceramic articles, which in turn, offer enhanced mechanical properties and unlocks improved translucency in finished ceramic pieces.

  • Aqueous based nano dispersions
  • Controlled
  • Narrow particle size
  • Distribution
  • High solids loading

  • Advanced ceramics
  • Healthcare and dental
  • Optical devices
  • Coatings
  • Filtration
  • Abrasives and polishing

Nano particles encapsulated in aqeuous media, low viscostiy and high solids loading. Offers lower sintering temperatures for formed ceramics <1200˚C

MELsperses for advanced applications

Luxfer MEL Technologies has been at the forefront of autocatalysis since the very beginning. As pioneers in the field, we played a key role in shaping the technology from its inception and continue to drive innovation to this day.

Our advanced coatings offer a thin, smooth, and well-dispersed layer—even within the smallest pores—providing catalytic functionality while minimising backpressure.

  • Aqueous dispersion of mixed oxide
  • 20-35 wt.% oxide concentration
  • pH3-8 dependant on composition
  • Contain no organic additives or stabilisers
