Alumina products
alumina powders
Alutron powders (alumina powders) are carefully manufactured to controlled particle size distributions and specifications, which are highly suitable for any polishing and filler applications where consistency matters most. They are designed to be fully compatible in all water, oil and emulsion-based systems. Hygroscopic in design, Alutron powder minimizes hard agglomerates by allowing for electro-kinetic separation in solution. Our easy dispersibility design allows our customers to experience efficient cutting performance while minimizing potential for undesirable scratches.

RAZOR-X5 SLURRIES
AMS is proud to introduce our newest line of slurry for over-the-top cutting speed, called Razor. Razor X5 is our optimized blend of ceramic abrasives to provide the most efficient cutting while maintaining the highest surface integrity for a final touch up polish with our SAGE 0.05A oxide suspension.
Engineered blend of abrasive types and particle sizes, work together to provide the most synergistic mechanism for cutting. It truly cuts at “RAZOR” speed while providing a well-polished surface on metals, resins and hard materials which can then be brought to a final finish with our SAGE 0.05A slurry. In a metallographic polishing process, sequentially it can take up to 5 steps of polishing with both diamond and oxide suspensions (9um, 6um, 3um, 1um and 0.05um oxide suspensions). However, AMS’ innovative solution will get the job done in two steps using: RAZOR-X5 and SAGE 0.05A. This translates into significant time and money saved from taking a traditional 5 step polishing process down to 2 steps. Cost of ownership will be significantly reduced!!
