 LithaCon 3Y 210 and LithaCon 3Y 230 are ceramic slips based on 3 mol% Y 2 O 3 stabilized zirconium oxide. Zirconia is used for applications that place extreme demands on the material. Valves, bearings, cutting tools and components for high-performance forming technology are just a few of the applications that benefit from the mechanical properties of Zirconia.
