Vanadium-Zircon Blue Ceramic Pigment
CAS Number: 68611-31-4
Vanadium-doped zircon blue (V-ZrSiO4) is a premium inorganic blue ceramic pigment providing a pure blue hue in ceramic glazes and inks, alternative to the deeper cobalt blue. The V4+ ion hosted in the ZrSiO4 matrix delivers a bright blue color with excellent stability above 1200 °C and high resistance to acid and alkaline environments, making it ideal for digital ceramic printing applications.
