Red-brown corundum - Abrasive sand for sandblasting
Aluminium Oxide for Sandblasting - Corundum
Summary
Corundum for sandblasting is a versatile, non-toxic abrasive material suitable for various applications, including SANDBLASTING and ABRASIVE WHEELS. Unlike other cheaper sandblasting products, it is devoid of free silica and harmful components, ensuring a safer and healthier working environment.
Corundum, an aluminum oxide (Al2O3) crystallized in the trigonal system, occurs naturally as a mineral. Some varieties, in various colors, are precious gems: sapphire (blue), ruby (red), emerald (green), and amethyst (violet).
In the industrial sector, synthetic corundum is preferred for its cost-effectiveness over natural corundum. It is obtained by melting bauxite (aluminum hydroxide) and is widely used in applications requiring high purity and performance.
