Tabular Alumina
Tabular Alumina is a pure sintered α-alumina (corundum) material produced by rapid sintering at temperatures above 1800°C without the use of sintering aids. It consists of large, well-developed hexagonal tabular α-alumina crystals and offers outstanding thermal, mechanical and chemical stability.
Key Features
- Extremely high refractoriness
- Excellent mechanical strength and abrasion resistance
- Very high chemical purity
- Excellent dielectric properties
- Strong resistance to acid and alkali corrosion
Typical Applications
- Steel and foundry industries
- Cement and petrochemical industries
- Ceramics and waste incineration
- Electrical insulators and kiln furniture
- Catalyst support
- Ground tabular alumina for epoxy and resin systems
