Features

Empowered by the unique properties of ceramics, YTZ® is resistant to rust and corrosion making it compatible with water-based processes. YTZ® Grinding media, produced from yttria-stabilized zirconia powder, exhibits superior grinding efficiency because of higher density, and has superior wear resistance due to high crushing strength and durability. YTZ® Grinding Media is almost perfectly spherical with a narrow size distribution. This combined with YTZ®’s high density provides superior productivity and eliminates product contamination from both media and mill parts.
