Zircon sand prices stableThe zircon sand market remains quiet moving into the off season for the ceramics industry. Prices have remained stable for Chinese sand at USD 1,100 - 1,150/mt FOB China and USD 1,300/mt CIF China for Australian sand. Demand has been down in general which has prevented any upward pressure on Australian sand taking effect. The general outlook for sand prices is stable for the remainder of 2014 with any possible increase being in the region of USD 100-150/mt. Stable sand prices translate in to stable prices likely for zirconium chemicals and oxides for the rest of the year.
Zircon sand is the starting raw material for the majority of zirconium oxides and chemicals, including zirconium oxychloride, zirconium basic sulphate, zirconium basic carbonate, zirconium oxide, yttria stabilised zirconia.
