What is Aluminium Oxide? Also known as alumina, with the chemical formula Al₂O₃, is a naturally occurring compound of aluminium and oxygen. It is also referred to by alternate names such as Aluminium(III) oxide and Aluminous earth. Aluminium Oxide 99.50% Calcined is a highly pure, anhydrous form of alumina that has been heat-treated at high temperatures to remove any water content. This calcination process enhances its stability, hardness, and resistance to high temperatures, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial and scientific applications. Aluminium Oxide is commonly used in ceramics, abrasives, and as a refractory material. It is also used in the production of aluminium metal and as a catalyst support in chemical processes.

Consistent Quality: We provide only high-quality Aluminium Oxide 99.50% Calcined, ensuring reliable and consistent performance for industrial, research, and manufacturing applications.

Shipped from Manchester, UK Facility: Sourced and packaged in non-toxic, chemical-resistant containers to ensure safe handling and preserve product quality during transport.

Frequent Uses

Abrasives and Polishing
Widely used as an abrasive material due to its hardness and durability. It is employed in the production of grinding wheels, sandpapers, and other abrasive tools, where its fine, sharp particles help to grind, cut, and polish various materials, including metals, glass, and ceramics.

Refractory Material
Due to its high melting point and stability at elevated temperatures, it is used as a refractory material in industries such as steelmaking, ceramics, and glass manufacturing. It is used to line furnaces, kilns, and other high-temperature equipment to protect them from heat and chemical wear.

Catalyst Support
As a catalyst support in various chemical processes, including petroleum refining and the production of chemicals such as ammonia. Its large surface area and stability make it an ideal material for supporting catalysts, enabling efficient reactions in industrial settings.

Production of Aluminium Metal
A key raw material in the production of aluminium metal through the Bayer process, where it is refined into pure aluminium for use in a wide range of products. The calcined form of Aluminium Oxide, with its high purity, is particularly suitable for this process.

Ceramics and Glass Manufacturing
Used in the manufacture of ceramics and glass due to its high melting point, hardness, and insulating properties. It is used as a component in the production of advanced ceramic materials, such as electrical insulators, semiconductors, and high-performance glass.

Water and Air Purification
Also used in water and air purification systems, where it helps to remove impurities and contaminants. Its adsorptive properties are utilised in filtration systems, particularly for removing heavy metals and other pollutants from water supplies.

Electronics Industry
As an insulating material and in the production of substrates for electronic components such as capacitors and resistors. Its high dielectric strength and excellent insulating properties make it ideal for use in electronic circuits and devices.

Biomedical and Dental Applications
Serves as an abrasive for polishing and cleaning dental materials. It is also used in the production of biocompatible ceramics for dental implants and prosthetics.

Research and Laboratory Applications
Widely used in research and laboratory applications, including catalysis, material science, and surface chemistry studies. Its high purity and stable properties make it a valuable material for controlled experiments and for use in various scientific investigations.

Cosmetic and Personal Care Products
Occasionally used in cosmetic and personal care products, such as exfoliating creams and powders, due to its fine particle size and gentle abrasive qualities. It is also used in formulations designed to provide a smooth and polished appearance to the skin
