· ZrN

Zirconium nitride (ZrN) is a hard ceramic compound belonging to the transition metal nitride family, known for its metallic luster and high hardness. It is widely used in cutting tools, wear-resistant coatings, and high-temperature applications where conventional materials fail, particularly valued in machining operations and as a physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating for extending tool life and reducing friction. ZrN is preferred over titanium nitride in applications requiring superior oxidation resistance and thermal stability at elevated temperatures, making it a critical material in demanding industrial manufacturing environments.

Export Control

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
