General comment White Fused Alumina, a processed and high-purity form of aluminum oxide, is manufactured through the fusion of calcined alumina in electric arc furnaces at high temperatures, followed by a cooling process. It is characterized by its high hardness and chemical inertness, making it suitable for refractories and abrasives. The product is compliant with industry standards, and is utilized predominantly in surface finishing, grinding, and cutting applications. The information further details the production route from bauxite, the educt name 'alumina', and its distribution either to consumers or direct availability at the production plant.
