Morundum™ (Alumina)

Morundum™ (Alumina) Overview

Fine powder abrasives require quality control tracing to materials, and for their quality stability, it is important to use high-quality materials.

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 Showa Denko is controlled with a consistent system from coarse particle material. We develop various kinds of products as functional fine powder to meet user needs and requirements.
