Hello Mr. Gordon. I have another question for you. I am by no means a chemist, is Zirconia and Zirconium oxide powder the same? I'm under the understanding they are and have variations of them with added stabalizers, as in yttria, calcia. Why is there a need for a stabilizer and what exactly does oxide mean? I know some ceramics have the word oxide in the name and I want to know why. Thanks in advance for your reply. Joe
