Laminate flooring is a composite floor with a high-density substrate as the main material, and a non-slip coating and decorative paper (impregnated paper) on the surface. Laminate flooring is not like solid wood flooring with wood texture. The wooden texture design needs to be printed out and attached to the surface of the floor. Aluminum oxide powder for laminate flooring is for anti-slip function. In addition, Anti-slip ability is an important index of the quality of laminate flooring. Usually, it is necessary to add fine aluminum oxide powder to the Anti-slip glue in the dipped paper to achieve the wear resistance of the dipped paper.
This month, the white fused alumina manufacturing in China is lower than last month. There are 207 sets of white fused alumina smelting furnaces all over China. In November of 2021, there are about 150 sets were under inspection.
White Fused aluminum oxide works well as anti-slip aggregate in epoxy floor coating to improve anti-slip ability. It makes the epoxy floor coating tough, durable as well.
Generally, users pay more attention to the D50 value, D10, and D90 of white aluminum oxide powder, and pay less attention to the span of the micro-sized powder. The span of the micro-sized powder is a more strict index to show the concentration of the particle size of the micro powder.
White aluminum oxide is a kind of electro-fused alumina. The raw material is pure whit calcined alumina. White Electrofused alumina blocks must be crushed by a jaw crusher and ground by a ball mill and then sorted into different models.
Fused aluminum oxide grit is made of electrofused corundum blocks, Grits range from F8 to F220. Fused aluminum oxide grit is a basic raw material in many industries. The following applications are among the most used fields:
Recently, the price of white aluminum oxide Grit has been raised in various regions of white corundum production. Nonetheless, high-quality sand with a large amount of white corundum, such as 46 mesh and 54 mesh, is in tight supply. The Latest Price of white aluminum oxide grit is about 30-45 USD higher per ton than that in August.

Since the beginning of 2021, the prices of domestic bulk chemicals and metal materials have continued to rise in China. Affected by this, the price of aluminum ingots has risen from 1,860 USD/ton to 3,100 USD/ton. Large aluminum factories in China have adjusted their product structure. They cut the production capacity of industrial alumina powder.
