Aluminum oxide powders are an excellent base for polishes and glazes for automotive clearcoat finishes. They can be used for OEM, body shop, detailing and DIY. Powder or slurry forms are available. The size and hardness of the particles can be customized to match your specific formulation. The aluminum oxide particle size distribution is carefully controlled to optimize cut and surface finish while providing stable viscosity, good handling properties, low dusting and easy cleaning. Demeter Technologies aluminum oxides work equally well with natural and synthetic polishing pads and with both rotary and dual action polishers.
