Aluminum oxide, a mineral-based consumable, is graded according to its purity level. Also referred to in the market by names such as aluminum oxide, corundum, alumina, and various regional derivatives, this material is available in WHITE, PINK, and BROWN colors depending on its degree of purity.
The aluminum oxide mineral occurs due to the high sensitivity of aluminum metal to oxygen. They are highly preferred in the surface treatment sector owing to their high hardness and long service life. They are the most commonly used materials for paint removal or surface roughening processes. Due to its high hardness and angular structure, aluminum oxide is extensively used especially in roughening processes prior to coating.
Owing to its high purity level, white aluminum oxide is specifically preferred for blasting materials that possess stainless properties. Chosen for the blasting of stainless steels, titanium and aluminum alloys, copper and brass alloys, and even porcelain-based materials, white aluminum oxide generates significantly less dust than brown aluminum oxide, delivering a much cleaner surface quality.
