Electric insulator Valuable Resource for pharmaceutical and industrial manufacturing processes - Aluminum Oxide Market Evolving Technology, Trends and industry Analysis – 2020



Aluminum oxide, a chemical compound of oxygen and alluminum is a commonly occurring oxide. It is known by its chemical formula as Al2O3 and identified as aluminium (III) oxide. Depending on applications and particular forms, they are also known as alumina, aloxite, aloxide and alundum. It occurs in its crystalline polymorphic form comprising mineral corundum by which various precious gems such as sapphire and ruby are formed. Aluminum oxide is an electric insulator. It has relatively high thermal conductivity for ceramic material. Al2O3 is soluble in water and very slightly soluble in alkali and acids. It is used as a component in cutting tool and as an abrasive. It is known for its resistance of metallic aluminium to weathering. Aluminum oxide is also a widely used phosphate remover. Aluminum in the form of both salts and solid alumina, removes phosphate from aqueous solutions.

Aluminum oxide is available in the market in the form of powder, pellets, pieces, sputtering targets, nanoparticles and tablets. Aluminum nanoparticles are being used on a large scale as compared to bulk materials due to its enhanced properties. The physical appearance of nanoparticles is spherical in the form of white powder. These particles in liquid and solid form are inflammable and irritant to the respiratory tract. The benefits of aluminum oxide nanoparticles include toughness, electricity conductivity, ductility and increased strength and hardness of metals and alloys. Alumina nanoparticles are manufactured using laser ablation of an aluminium target in deionized water.

The various application areas of aluminum oxide include pharmaceutical and industrial manufacturing processes among others. It is used as an adsorbent, catalyst, desiccating agent, used in manufacture of dental cement, as a dispersing agent in food, as an abrasive in toothpaste and also has uses in hemodialysis. Other applications include fillers for plastics, purifier to remove water from gas streams and for reflective decorative effects and paints. In addition it is used as a medium of chromatography in sodium vapor lamps, to make spark plug insulators, as a material in hip replacements and also used in compact fluorescent lamps. Aluminum oxide has high demand as a biomaterial for medical transplants in the market.

Growing pharmaceutical industry along with rising demand for aluminum oxide from other applications in the industry is expected to be the major driver for aluminum oxide. The growing demand from ceramic industries to manufacture porous ceramics is also expected to boost demand for aluminum oxide in the near future. However, exposure to aluminum oxide causing health concerns is expected to be the major restraining factor for the growth of aluminum oxide market. Aluminum oxide is not a human carcinogen but is noted to develop severe pulmonary reactions such as fibrosis, pneumothorax and emphysema. Short-term exposure to aluminum oxide may cause upper respiratory tract and eye irritation. Long-term exposure may affect the central nervous system. 


Asia Pacific and North America is expected to be the largest consumers of aluminum oxide owing to the growing pharmaceutical industries in Asia Pacific and increasing use of aluminum for ceramic works in North America. Some of the major players profiled for aluminum oxide market include: Almatis, Chemicals India Company, Khambhalay Abrasive, Tirupati Industries, Snam Abrasives Pvt. Ltd, MTC Wesgo, Nivaka Pharmaceuticals Industries, SASOL, GRACE, GIFA, Russel and Vega among others.

Superabrasives (Turning, Cutting, Buffing, Drilling, Boring, Grinding) Market Research Report 2025

An abrasive is a material which molds or provides finishing to a work piece through a process which includes buffing, grinding, cutting, as well as polishing. Abrasion typically depends on the difference in the hardness of the material and the abrasive (with the latter being the harder of the two). Unlike regular abrasion where any two solid materials that repeatedly rub against each other tend to wear away, superabrasives possess the kind of hardness that enables them to stay usable for a longer period of time. On the basis of hardness, the top two superabrasives include diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN). Industrial diamonds used as superabrasives are exceptionally hard materials. However, they display several technological limitations. For instance, when a diamond comes in contact with a ferrous alloy such as steel or a nickel superalloy, the resulting formation of carbide leads to its abrasion. Also, a diamond-containing tool can only be used at moderate temperatures a...

Industrial Lubricants Market: Strong Demand Across Automotive Industry, Trends To 2025

Lubricants refer to the organic or inorganic material primarily being use to decrease friction between two surfaces in contact. Lubricants play a key role in several industries as well as in commercial and residential sectors. One of their most common uses is in the lubrication of bearings and gears, allowing for their easy movement at high speeds, without loss in energy, prevent excessive generation of heat, or most importantly, prevent damage that would be caused otherwise. Industrial lubricants are, therefore, essential in enhancing the overall efficiency of a machine that contains moving parts in contact with one another. The global industrial lubricants market is currently expanding at a solid growth rate, driven by several factors and spearheaded by the likes of BP, Total, Chevron Corporation, ExxonMobil, and Shell.

Rapid Prototyping Market - Rapidly Gaining Importance in Aerospace Sector, Research By 2024

Rapid prototyping is a technique in which the physical modeling of a design is done with the help of specialized machining technology. It was developed initially in the mid-1980s, the principle used in this technology is of solid modeling with the help of computer programs (i.e. CAD). Solid modeling makes use of computer aided-design (CAD) data to completely describe not just the external shape of parts or equipment, but its interior volume as well as the outside surfaces. The computer model is sliced into thin layers and the part of the product or commodity to be modelled or developed as per the requirement, is eventually fabricated by adding layers onto each other. Obtain Report Details @   http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/rapid-prototyping-market.html The primary benefit of the system is that almost any shape can be manufactured using computerized programs. Time and money savings vary from 50% to 90% compared to conventional systems. Types of rapid proto...
