White fused alumina is a high-purity alumina produced by melting bauxite in an electric arc furnace.
It possesses excellent mechanical strength, wear resistance, and chemical stability.
With a smooth surface and uniform particle size, white fused alumina is widely used in precision abrasives, sandblasting, and various grinding applications.
It is suitable for the production of high-performance refractory materials, ceramics, abrasives, and for grinding and cutting operations in industries like steel and glass.
