Description

Aluminum oxide is widely used in a variety of plastics, rubber, ceramics, refractory products for reinforcement toughening. It is also useful to produce artificial ruby, sapphire, yttrium aluminum garnet. It is useful in the field of fiber fabric products and high pressure sodium lamp as far-infrared emission and thermal insulation materials. It is useful for the C single crystal detectors. It plays an important role for the hydrogenation of aromatic hydrocarbons.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
