Detailed information about Alumina Products
- Industrial Guidance : Dhiru Parekh Alumina stands for aluminum oxide chemical compound of aluminum and oxygen = chemical formula AI2O3. Aluminum oxide has proven to be an excellent thermal and electrical insulator. This products crystalline form is called 'corundum'. These products are used to harden abrasives as well as components in cutting tools. These products are extensively used for manufacturing of aluminum metal as well as for furnace refectory. Because these products have heat resist property. 'Corundum' is an aluminum oxide obtained from a natural mineral. Which is also used for quality. Metallic aluminum reacts rapidly with ferric oxygen in the atmosphere. The process of these products is called 'anodizing'. The ancient Greeks and Romans used aluminum salts as dyeing mordants (used to set the dye onto the fabric). The main component of industrial process aluminum oxide is bauxite, the principal 'ore' of aluminium. Among the world's
