Alumina Characteristics

99.7% alumina or more is distinguished by its good plasma resistance, high purity and wear resistance.

These wares are highly refractory, meant for use in reducing and oxidizing atmospheres. It is inert in hydrogen and carbonaceous atmospheres and offers high resistance to alkalis and other fluxes. Suitable for glass melting, including borosilicate glass.

Recommended for use with refractory metals such as Molybdenum, Platinum, Rhodium, Tungsten, Tantalum and Iridium. The temperature change rate for high-alumina labware should not exceed 150°C per hour.
