Product Profile of Activated Aluminium Oxide
Activated Aluminium Oxide is highly porous and exhibits tremendous surface area and resistant to thermal stock and abrasion. The Aluminium Oxide does not shrink, swell, soften nor disintegrate when immersed in water and comes in beads form. The Aluminium Oxide is available in 0.75-0.85 gm/lit bulk density and comes in 345-415 sq m / gm surface area. Activated Aluminium Oxide is ideal for purification of gases and liquids and drying of organic liquids such as LPG, propylene, butene, steam cracked liquids, cyclohexane, gasoline, chloro- and fluoro hydrocarbons, aromatic solvents etc.
