MORUNDUM™ (Alumina)

Industrial

MORUNDUM™ Overview

Resonac (formerly Showa Denko) is one of the leading comprehensive manufacturers in Japan in the field of coarse-particle abrasive material, from which fine powder abrasive is made. The quality of fine powder abrasive provided by Resonac is controlled with a consistent system from coarse particle material. Fine powder abrasives require quality control tracing to materials, and for their quality stability, it is important to use high-quality materials. We develop various kinds of products as functional fine powder to meet user needs and requirements.

Product Lineup

A: A standard brown electro-fused-alumina abrasive. Generic fine powder, used for optical polishing, general lapping, grinding wheels, coated abrasives, etc.
(particle size: coarse, fine #220~#3000)
WA: A high-purity white electro-fused-alumina abrasive, suited for applications that must avoid heating. Used for general lapping, grinding wheels, fillers, refractories, etc. (particle size: coarse, fine #240~#8000)
SA: A single-crystal abrasive grain, suited for hard materials. In addition to a grade for general use, there are grades for resinoid bonded grinding wheels and coated abrasives.
PW: A pink lavender color, improved WA, having a longer life span.
SM: Having compact structure, a very tough cylindrical brown sintered alumina abrasive.
SR: Having compact structure, a very tough cylindrical high-purity white sintered alumina abrasive. A non-fixed form grade, “SR-3” is also available.
C: A black silicon carbide abrasive. Generic fine powder, used for general lapping, grinding wheels, coated abrasives, etc (particle size: coarse, fine #240~#4000)
GC: A high-purity green silicon carbide abrasive. Generic fine powder, used for general lapping, grinding wheels, cutting, fillers, etc. (particle size: coarse, fine #240~#8000)
