White Fused Aluminum Oxide

White Fused Aluminum Oxide (WFA/WA) is a synthetic mineral; the main ingredient is Al2O3. White Fused Aluminum Oxide is made of pure grade Bayer Alumina by fusion in an electric arc furnace. Melting temperature higher than 2000˚C, accompanied by a time-consuming solidification process. Strict quality control of raw materials and fusion parameters ensure WFA with high purity and high whiteness. Granules typically are blocky shaped, with an aspect ratio of approximately 1:1 to 3:1; High purity of white fused aluminum oxide, made by growing individual crystals from seed crystals at high temperature. Crystals are hexagonal platelet-shaped with an aspect ratio of 5:1.
