When the saturation point is achieved crystallization begins to occur. 

Zirconium silicate is most effective at low temperatures. 
As a glaze opacifier the white color produced by zirconium silicate is often characterized as 'toilet bowl white'.

Zirconium silicate can produce more of a blue-white, but tin is subject to alteration of the color (toward pink) if there is any chrome in the kiln atmosphere. 
If the shade of white is too harsh, Zirconium silicate can be toned by shifting part of the opacification burden to tin or by adding a tiny amount of stain (e.g. blue, brown, grey). 

The low expansion or zircon will tend to reduce crazing in glazes. 
In a non-crazed glaze, the presence of sufficient zircon can reduce thermal expansion enough that there is a danger of shivering (the glaze formulation may need to be adjusted to accommodate, e.g. more Zircon lowers glaze thermal expansion). 

Zirconium silicate is best to exclude the chemistry of the zircon materials from participation in glaze chemistry calculations, treating it simply as an addition (then take into consideration its effect on glaze properties on a physical rather than chemical level).
