Almatis Premium Alumina for Polishing Applications
Calcined Aluminas for Polishing Applications
Premium Almatis calcined aluminas are used for metal polishing, car cleaners, stone polishes, brake linings, vibro-finishing, household cleaners and toothpaste. They are applied manually or in automatic polishing processes, such as airless or barrel finishing. Almatis Polishing Aluminas can be used alone or as a component of a polishing compound, into applications that may require:
- Precision lapping
- Final lapping
- Surface abrasion (hydro abrasion)
- Polishing (buffing, hydro lapping, barrel polishing, tumbling)
- Honing
- Super finishing
- Fettling
- Polishing with wheels
Benefits of Almatis Calcined Aluminas for Polishing
- Extremely hard primary crystals (one degree below diamond on the Mohs scale)
- Chemically inert
- Wide range of working temperatures
Why Almatis Polishing Aluminas are Premium
- Broad product line from very soft to extremely abrasive aluminas
- High chemical purity for ultimate control of product properties
- Tightly controlled Particle Size Distribution for improved rheology
- Globally available products, with manufacturing in different regions and sales and logistics supporting worldwide supply
- Unmatched global technical support offering consulting, troubleshooting and application assessment to optimize polishing performance
