Z-Max™ Ceramic Butterfly Valves

Ceresist’s Z-Max™ butterfly valve series feature a zirconia ceramic liner, disc, and shrouds to outperform valves with conventional alloy trim. Zirconia ceramic exhibits 2.5 times the fracture toughness of any alumina, nitride, or carbide ceramic, and is 12 times more wear resistant than stainless steel.

The solid zirconia Z-Max™ valve ensures reliable, consistent control together with high wear resistance.
