It is used as
opacifier in vitreous enamel frits and glazes for sanitary ware.
The
opacifier however varies between them (zirconium oxide in MTA Angelus but tantalum oxide in NeoMTA Plus) as detected in XRD.
Other industrial applications require lower particle size usually restricted to two basic types: zircon flour (40-50 [micro]m) and micronized zircon (D < 5 [micro]m) used as an
opacifier [2, 3].
Figure 1 shows the development of the mixtures of ceramic pigments,
opacifier of zircon and industrial frit suspension for the ceramic enamel.
Proper shade matching for composites keeping hue chrome and value in consideration is essential.25
Opacifier usage before composite placement masks the dark effect of restorations and makes it more acceptable.2627
These were created as marketing materials by China's fluoride export industry: Uses: It's mainly used as a flux in the aluminum smelting by fused-salt electrolysis; also an opalizer in the manufacture of enamel; an
opacifier and auxiliary solvent of glass and enamel; an insecticide of crops; a flux in aluminum alloy casting; and in the production of ferrous alloy and effervescing steel; as well as a wear-resistant filler for resin and rubber-boned abrasive wheels.
Le produit de contraste iode qui a servi a
opacifier les voies genitales internes etait l'acide ioxitalamique sel de meglumine (telebrix hystero[R]).
He recites a litany of raw materials, pointing out examples: "lead basilicate frit and white felspar plus
opacifier, give a background for colour response; zirconium gives a hard, clean white, tin a softer white; vanadium pentoxide gives a soft yellow; copper with an alkaline base gives Egyptian blue, or with an acidic base gives green.
A product called Parallax Acrylic Resin with TRACERS-Ta Bone Cement
Opacifier enhances a physician's ability to track the flow of bone cement under fluoroscopy, according to manufacturer ArthroCare Corp., of Austin, Texas.
