Specialist & Custom Made Extrudable Materials
Aluminium Oxides (Aluminas)
Extruded Aluminas offer a combination of good mechanical and electrical properties. Available in a range of purities from 96% to 99.7%, Aluminas are well suited to a wide range of applications from resistors to specialist medical devices.
The material characteristics of Aluminas allow for extremely small extrusions, highly complex geometries and excellent surface finishes. Additionally Alumina, as a fully dense material, can be processed to further improve surface finish or to meet tighter dimensional tolerances.
Typical Aluminas used in extrusions are:
Hilox™ 961 Alumina
A brown coloured 96% Alumina, with exceptional wear properties, typically used for applications such as pump shafts.
Hilox™ 965 Alumina
A white, minimum 95% Alumina, for applications requiring good surface finish as well as the excellent mechanical and electrical properties typical of aluminas.
TG12™
A 99.5% high purity Alumina, excellent for the smallest extrusions or in applications in which exceptional surface finish is required.

Frequentite™
A Magnesium Silicate offering an economical solution for product needing good high temperature electrical resistance for components without a requirement for the high strength properties of Alumina. Typically for use only in high volume applications.
