Alumina Discs, Tiles and Plates

Page Navigation
GENERAL OVERVIEW
Alumina discs, plates and tiles are used to support products during heat treatment processes.
Due to Alumina’s unique combination of properties, Alumina discs, plates and tiles can be made incredibly thin and small without compromising on strength or durability. This makes them particularly useful as heat sinks and substrates within the tech industry.
Due to Alumina’s non-reactive nature, researchers, universities and laboratories often use Alumina Discs, Plates and Tiles to hold materials which they are reacting together.
