AlPearl

Antaria’s MCP technology lends itself well to the synthesis of particles with unique morphology. This includes plate-like particles of aluminium oxide (α-alumina or corundum) having a wide range of industrial applications.

Advantages




  • Plate thickness ~200nm
  • Particle diameter can be tailored to suit application
  • Very low levels of agglomeration
  • Smooth crystallographic faces
  • Low coefficient of friction
  • Plates can be aligned to generate smooth coatings

Applications




  • Refractory die coatings
  • Abrasion resistant coatings
  • High temperature lubricants
  • Lapping abrasives
  • Pearlescent pigments
  • Advanced ceramics
  • Composites
  • Transparent coatings
