White Fused Alumina Micropowder Market

Global White Fused Alumina Micropowder Market: Highlights

White fused alumina (WFA or WA) is produced by fusing calcined alumina in an electric arc furnace under carefully controlled conditions at high temperatures. The dense mineral is white in color and it predominantly contains large crystals of alpha alumina.
White fused alumina is an important raw material used in the manufacture of abrasives, ceramics shapes, grinding wheels, sandpaper, blasting mediums, laminates, and coatings. Also, it is widely used in refractories, metal preparation, lapping, polishing, grinding, etc. Since WFA is a highly pure, low-iron alumina with low impurities and stability at high temperatures, it is employed in specific refractory applications such as high-tech refractory castables, isostatic pressed refractories, and pre-cast refractory shapes.

Key Drivers of Global White Fused Alumina Micropowder Market

Increasing demand for white fused alumina micropowder in the global electrical & electronics industry is likely to drive the global white fused alumina micropowder market during the forecast period. They are used as an insulation coating material for heaters of electronics tubes.
