Alumina Zirconia (25%) - ZF/ZS Alundum
Download: Technical Data Sheet | Material Safety SheetDescription:
Aluminum Zirconia-25% (ZF or ZS Alundum) is a hard, very tough, sharp abrasive. It is produced by fusing zircon sand and alumina at about 1900°C.
Applications:
Alumina Zirconia is used primarily for producing large grinding wheels for foundry snagging and track grinding. It is also an excellent blasting material for granite and other materials where long life is required.
