Zirconia powder ZirGrip

Zirconium dioxide is an abrasive material frequently used in friction applications. When incorporated into a brake pad formulation, zirconia plays the role of a friction modifier that also reduces brake wear. For brake pad applications, Saint-Gobain ZirPro offers ZirGrip®, a unique zirconium oxide powder. The only powder of its kind on the market today, ZirGrip is composed of particles with dendritic morphology, which enable better cohesion between the polymeric resin and zirconia particles.
