Zirconium Labware

Zirconium is a chemical element with the symbol Zr and atomic number 40. It is a lustrous, grayish-white, strong transition metal that closely resembles hafnium and, to a lesser extent, titanium. Zirconium is highly corrosion-resistant and is used in a variety of applications, including the production of labware.

Labware made of zirconium has several advantages over other materials, such as glass or stainless steel. It is more resistant to corrosive chemicals and can withstand higher temperatures than glass. Zirconium labware is also less likely to break or shatter than glass, making it a safer option for certain types of experiments. Additionally, zirconium labware does not interact with many common laboratory chemicals, making it a suitable choice for use in chemical reactions.
