Main Characteristics
Aluminium oxide is widely used due to its exceptional hardness and strength.
It is commonly used as a durable abrasive material for sandblasting and blasting applications.
Aluminium oxide crystals are also used in the production of various types of abrasive papers and sanding materials.
Due to its low thermal conductivity and low heat generation during processing, aluminium oxide is highly suitable for glass sandblasting, frosting, and grinding applications.
The strength and abrasive performance of aluminium oxide are the result of its high hardness level (9 on the Mohs mineral hardness scale).
Aluminium oxide is the best choice for abrasive blasting and polishing operations related to surface preparation before painting, as well as for glass frosting and matting applications.
