Very Low Wear
Ceramic surface hardness reduces friction and improves wear6
Favorable wetting characteristics of ceramic contribute to better lubrication and lower wear 6
High Fracture Resistance
BIOLOX delta toughness and bending strength is more than double over pure Alumina ceramics through the addition of zirconia and strontium oxide 6
Zirconia prevents the initiation and/or propagation of cracks
Strontium oxide forms platelet-like crystals to deflect cracking
