Aluminum
Aluminum is difficult to polish, as it is soft and the melting temperature is low. Too high temperatures will change the lattice structure of the aluminum, which can have impacts on further processing of the aluminum. Therefore different strategies and aluminas have to be applied. Almatis offers varius grades to fullfil the customers needs.
GILOX-Series
Special alumina with plate like 25 µm big primary crystal, which needs further processing prior use.
Special alumina with plate like 20 µm big primary crystal, which needs further processing prior use.
Ground version of P 25 with top cut of 125µm.
Ground version of P 25 with top cut of 63µm.
Dense, sintered aggregate with 96% Al2O3 with a top cut of 90µm
Dense, sintered crystalline alpha alumina with 99,5% Al2O3 with a top cut of 45µm
PSG Series
Alumina with top cut of 200 µm for very heavy cutting compounds.
Alumina with top cut of 125 µm for heavy cutting compound and better pre-finishing compared to PSG 100.
Alumina with top cut of 90 µm for heavy cutting compound for good preperation of surface for the finishing process.
Ground alumina with a d50 of 4.5µm
Ground alumina with a d50 of 10µm
Ground alumina with a d50 of 6µm
P-Series
Alumina with top cut of 90 µm produced in Germany. The "workhorse" in polishing industry giving high cut and good polish in on go.
Alumina with top cut of 90 µm and fines removed. Due to removal of fine fraction the material has a high loose bulk density and oil absorption
Alumina with top cut of 56 µm for the finishing of all kinds of surfaces.
Alumina with top cut of 20 µm giving nearly scratch free surfaces.
Alumina with top cut of 90 µm for the finishing of all kinds of surfaces
