Almatis expands its calcined aluminas into a higher purity range

Alumina is the most extensively used ceramic material.

A major reason for the success of alumina over other technical ceramic materials is its excellent material properties in combination with its lower price, which is due to the use of the Bayer process for synthesis.

For the vast majority of alumina applications, a purity range of 99.6–99.8% is sufficient to achieve the desired properties. However, some specialty applications, such as lithium-ion batteries, require higher purities to achieve the desired properties.
