General description
Aluminum oxide (Al2O3), also known as alumina. It is commonly used in various rubber, plastics, ceramics, and refractory materials for reinforcement hardening. It can also be used as a filler or component in polymer or inorganic composite materials, as a catalyst or catalyst support, as an adsorbent, etc.
Application
Aluminum oxide is used as
- Filler for plastics and a common ingredient in sunscreen and many cosmetics.
- As a catalyst for alcohol dehydration in the Claus process.
- As a catalyst in the conversion of urea to ammonia.
Features and Benefits
Aluminum oxide has:
- High porosity
- High surface area
- Acidic and basic property
Storage Class Code
11 - Combustible Solids
