Micronised zircon is used as an opacifier in the production of engobes, opaque glazes, and porcelain tile bodies [1–2]. The price of zircon, as for other materials, is largely driven by supply-demand factors. Elevated price levels, as seen in 2011–2012 (Fig. 1), tend to incentivise thrifting and substitution of zircon by alternative materials.
