Aluminum oxide is fused in an electric arc furnace which produces a high-strength, tough, and extremely durable grain. Aluminum oxide is useful in many forms. The most common form is brown fused. Brown fused aluminum oxide is a general-purpose, loose grain abrasive that is used in abrasive blasting, polishing, lapping, or other finishing applications. Surface Prep also supplies white fused aluminum oxide for applications that need minimal foreign contaminant.
When blast equipment is paired with a media recovery system, aluminum oxide offers multiple turns/recyclability before it breaks down. Typically propelled by air, aluminum oxide acts as a powerful, multi-edged abrasive that will penetrate the work piece while creating an exceptionally clean and uniquely etched surface. This unique surface finish is excellent preparation for an application of paint or powder coating.

White fused aluminum oxide is created using the same process as brown fused aluminum oxide except that a higher purity alumina is used in the composition. The final product is a purer aluminum oxide that can be used in a specialty process without losing any of the strength and sharpness of brown aluminum oxide.
White aluminum oxide contains virtually no iron content making it a safe abrasive for applications that require minimal foreign contamination. This allows white aluminum oxide to be used in applications such as blasting orthopaedic implant parts, aerospace components, or exotic alloys. White aluminum oxide can be found in a variety of bonded abrasives used in surface or cylindrical grinding. General industry applications for white aluminum oxide include abrasive blasting, microdermabrasion, anti-skid surfaces, and lapping.

Blue Aluminum Oxide is created through the electrofusion of bauxite, iron oxide and micro-elements in a tilting arc furnace. It can be produced in a variety of sizes from grains to micro-powders, and is one of the most economical media available for a wide array of dry and wet processing applications.

Pink fused aluminum oxide is an aluminum oxide that during the furnace process had chromium oxide added. The incorporation of the chromium oxide into the aluminum oxide crystal structure slightly increases the toughness of the grain while reducing the friability in comparison to white aluminum oxide. In comparison to brown fused aluminum oxide, pink fused aluminum oxide is harder, more aggressive, and has sharper cutting ability.
Pink aluminum oxide is exceptional for the manufacturing of vitrified bonded abrasives allowing for grinding on hardened steels and alloys with high tensile strength. Pink aluminum oxide is mostly used for grinding and sharpening applications. Pink aluminum oxide can be used on non-ferrous metals, aluminum, zinc, brass, bronze, copper, wood, synthetics, and paints
