Specialty Industries: Unique and Beneficial

Alumina is an integral part of many industries, though often it is difficult to see.  Alumina is a specialty product for these industries, providing unique properties and characteristics to benefit their process and product.  Glass applications utilize alumina to add strength and purity.  Various filler industries utilize its hardness, wear resistance, or thermal properties.  The aerospace industry uses it for molds that are inert, strong, and creep resistant.  Metal foundries use it as both a pure and inert filter to remove unwanted slag and contaminants from molten metal and recuperate heat for energy savings.  The construction market uses high alumina cement for its whiteness and early strength development.  Regardless of the application, alumina provides strong advantages over other raw materials and proves its versatility across many industries.

Sicheng offers the broadest portfolio of tabular aluminas in the industry.  Our premium aluminas are regarded for their highly consistent properties, ensuring efficient, defect-free manufacturing.

Specialty tabular products

Sicheng produces specialized tabular alumina fractions targeted for the investment casting, functional filler, ceramic roller, metal filtration, and regeneration burner markets. Some of our tabular products are available in low iron (LI), intermediate soda (SP), and ultra-low soda (XLS) versions or as washed products (Tabalox). We also offer various spherical alumina balls in smooth (T162) and round (T160, FBA) versions for applications such as filter beds and regeneration burners.
