Tabular Alumina

Home    Products
Tabular alumina ALFA TAB® is alumina obtained with the sintering of calcined alumina. The production of the own raw material basis, detailed control of process parameters and stable thermal processing ensure high-quality products in accordance with customer needs and requirements.
During sintering, alpha-alumina crystals are combined to shape greater crystals, which give tabular alumina its specific properties. The shrinkage that occurs during the combining of the crystals leads to a unified crystal structure, low porosity and high density of the product. Different types of tabular alumina ALFA TAB® have different physical and chemical properties that enable diverse use.
  • Tabular alumina is one of the most commonly used oxides in refractory material production, such as different types of concrete, brick, monolithic products, insulation materials and other products.

  • Thermostability, electrical resistance, strength, high melting point and resistance against chemicals enable a broad field of application of tabular alumina in the ceramics industry.

  • Epoxy resins

    Adding alumina to epoxy resins enhances the mechanical properties (e.g. strength and abrasion resistance), thermal conductivity and dielectric properties of materials.
  • Oil industry

    The excellent properties of tabular alumina, such as chemical and thermostability, enable its use in processes that run under exacting conditions.
  • Foundry industry

    The characteristics of low-alkaline tabular alumina ALFA TAB®, especially the low impurity content, make it interesting for use in the foundry industry, especially in modular casting.
