Calcined alumina (70–100%) is a highly abrasive material widely used in the polishing industry.
It is available in a wide variety of forms: soft, coarse, with round or angular grains, etc. Polishing with aluminium oxide powder is ideal for the watchmaking, cutlery and precision engineering industries, which require fine polishing. The characteristics of alumina can be customised to suit the polishing application. Whether for polishing: glass/stone/jewellery/plastic/varnish/wood/steel/non-ferrous metals/electronics, etc.
As alumina is inert, its properties do not change under the pressure and temperature it is subjected to during the process. ALUMINES DURMAX offers various ranges, spanning from D50 at the nano level through to the micron and millimetre scales. A wide range of options is available to you, so please do not hesitate to send us your requirements, such as the desired particle size and the type of polishing required (deburring, lapping, mirror or high-gloss finish).
Alumina (Al₂O₃) is a ceramic with remarkable properties, widely used in a variety of industrial applications.
The key characteristics of this powder – such as grain shape, purity, hardness, density and specific surface area – play a decisive role in its performance. In the field of fillers, numerous aluminium-based compounds are used, notably oxides and hydroxides such as ATH (aluminium trihydroxide) or boehmite. The choice of these materials depends on the technical properties required and the specific requirements of each application.
Aluminates intended for special fillers offer numerous advantages and are used in a wide range of sectors, including:
Technical ceramics - Refractory materials - Reactive applications - High-purity products - Materials with high thermal conductivity - Electronics industry - Heat resistance - High-viscosity compounds - Electrical insulation - Catalyst supports - Synthetic resins and elastomers - Rubber industry - Paints and inks - Enhanced mechanical properties - High sintering density and low shrinkage - Resistance to thermal fatigue and corrosion - High sintering temperature - Flame retardants - Applications in water, gas and fluorine absorption and treatment - Specific forms: tabular, hollow spheres - Cosmetics - And many more
In short, aluminium oxides and hydroxides offer exceptional versatility, enabling a virtually unlimited range of industrial and technical applications.
