ZIONIC™ Nano
Simplify the production of nanofiltration membranes with a stable and high-performance nano zirconia suspension.
Water-treatment, food & beverage, utilities… The demand for nanofiltration is growing fast.
Yet, the production of nanofiltration membranes is sometimes slowed down by the difficulty of making a slurry.
This process step should not be a hurdle in scaling up production and meeting customer demand faster.

FAQ
ZIONIC™ Nano is a ready-to-use, water-based nano zirconia suspension engineered specifically for manufacturing high-performance ceramic nanofiltration membranes. Primary applications include water purification, industrial wastewater treatment, dairy processing, pharmaceuticals, and renewable energy generation.
ZIONIC™ Nano zirconia suspension eliminates internal raw material preparation, mixing, and dispersion steps. This pre-dispersed formulation plugs directly into standard dip-coating lines with zero preparation required, saving processing time and removing batch-to-batch formulation variability.
ZIONIC™ Nano zirconia suspension is synthesized via hydrothermal synthesis using supercritical water technology. Operating in a supercritical regime controls particle morphology, composition, and crystal structure within seconds while completely avoiding toxic organic solvents.
High chemical reactivity and controlled particle morphology in this zirconia suspension lower the sintering onset temperature to approximately 1000°C. This low-temperature reactivity provides predictable aggregate shrinkage, forming a uniform, controlled hierarchical porosity for precise molecular weight cut-offs in harsh filtration environments.
ZIONIC™ Nano zirconia suspension accelerates production by eliminating the time-consuming in-house preparation, pH adjustment, and dispersion steps required for nanoparticle slurries. Because it is supplied as a stable, pre-dispersed solution, manufacturers can bypass formulation bottlenecking and integrate the product directly into their dip-coating lines, significantly shortening batch setup times and increasing throughput.
In-house suspension preparation often introduces particle agglomeration and batch-to-batch variability. ZIONIC™ Nano zirconia suspension features a tightly controlled, narrow particle size distribution (Z-average 20–50 nm) and uniform 5–10 nm crystallites. This consistency prevents structural defects during dip-coating and ensures predictable aggregate shrinkage during thermal processing, leading to repeatable, uniform pore structures across every production run.
Yes. Due to its high chemical reactivity and controlled morphology synthesized via supercritical water processing, ZIONIC™ Nano zirconia suspension lowers the sintering onset temperature to approximately 1000°C. Lowering firing temperatures reduces overall thermal energy consumption and furnace cycle times during densification without compromising the membrane’s structural integrity or filtration performance.
