Alumina Filling Ball

Alumina Filling Ball

Alumina Ceramic Ball
Main characteristics
High purity: The alumina content is usually above 99% to ensure chemical stability.
High hardness: The Mohs hardness reaches 9, with strong wear resistance and compression resistance.
High temperature resistance: able to withstand high temperature environments, typically used at temperatures above 1600 ℃.
Corrosion resistance: It has good corrosion resistance to chemicals such as acids and alkalis.
High specific surface area: Provides a larger contact area, suitable for processes such as adsorption and catalysis.
Low packing density: Reduce equipment load and lower energy consumption.
