High alumina balls

Application

High-alumina balls can be used in catalytic reactors as an underlay or upper safe-guard layer of catalytic bed. They can also be used as an inert packing of dead spaces in the reactors. Considering their remarkably high mechanical strength, abrasion resistance, stability to heat, and chemical resistance, the high-alumina balls can be applied in many processes of various branches of chemical industry.

Characteristics

The high-alumina balls are produced from technical grade alumina and a high-alumina cement. The balls are manufactured of various dimensions and designed by a diameter expressed in inches.
