ZC6779 YSZ Zirconia Ceramic Plunger (ZrO2 Plunger)

YSZ ZrO2 Zirconia Ceramic Plunger Description

YSZ ZrO₂ Zirconia Ceramic Plunger is made from ultra-hard zirconia ceramic, known for its exceptional strength, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and toughness. These characteristics make it significantly more durable than metal-coated plungers, with a lifespan up to 10 times longer than traditional metal plungers. Due to its excellent resistance to saltwater, oils, and various chemical solutions, zirconia plungers are widely used in industries where fluid contamination is not allowed, such as medical, food and beverage, petrochemical, and specialty chemicals.

SAM offers custom manufacturing of zirconia plungers in various shapes and sizes with high dimensional accuracy and polished surface finishes. We can connect metal handles to the ceramic plungers, ensuring a perfect match between the ceramic piston and plunger for a tight seal.
