Zirconium sponge, also known as metallic zirconium, is a silver-gray metal with a steel-like appearance and luster, used in aerospace, military industry, nuclear reaction, etc. Zirconium sponges are produced by injecting gas or mixing a foaming agent into molten metal which creates a froth that is stabilized by a high-temperature foaming agent.

Catalyst Support – With its high surface area and porosity, zirconium sponge enhances catalyst activity and stability.
Gas Adsorption & Storage – Ideal for gas separation and storage, including hydrogen storage and CO₂ capture, due to its porous structure.
Energy Storage – Used in capacitors as an electrode material to improve energy storage capacity.
Biomedicine – Biocompatible and porous, it serves as a drug delivery carrier or scaffolding material for tissue engineering.
Adsorbents – Effective for removing water and organic pollutants, making it valuable in water treatment and environmental protection.
Industrial Uses – Applied in corrosion-resistant equipment, electronics, high-strength alloys, vacuum technology, and lighting industries.
Our industrial-grade zirconium sponge is clearly tagged and labeled externally to ensure efficient identification and quality control. Great care is taken to avoid any damage which might be caused during storage or transportation.
