Low sodium white fused alumina powder is produced from high-purity alumina melted in an electric arc furnace and processed into uniform micro-sized particles with ultra-low Na₂O content. By reducing sodium impurities to ≤0.10% or even ≤0.05%, the powder offers greater chemical stability, lower hygroscopicity, and enhanced performance in sensitive polishing environments.
It maintains the same high hardness, sharp crystalline structure, and thermal resistance of standard white fused alumina, but with improved consistency for semiconductor, electronic, and optical applications. The ultra-clean composition ensures minimal contamination, making it ideal for precision polishing, CMP formulations, optical glass finishing, ceramic substrate lapping, and high-end metal surface treatment where purity and process stability are essential.
Ultra-low Na₂O content (<0.10%) ensures superior stability for semiconductor and electronic-grade polishing.
High purity Al₂O₃ ≥ 99.6% provides strong hardness and extremely low impurities—preventing contamination or micro-scratches.
Very narrow particle size distribution guarantees stable polishing rate and repeatable surface accuracy.
Excellent chemical inertness and thermal stability, suitable for high-precision polishing applications.
Available in micro-powder grades (W, F, P series) and customized ultra-fine sizes for CMP & optical polishing.

💬 Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the difference between low sodium WFA and regular WFA?
Low sodium WFA has Na₂O ≤ 0.10%, making it more stable and suitable for electronic, semiconductor, and precision polishing applications where contamination must be minimized.
Q2: Why is low sodium content important?
Lower sodium reduces moisture absorption, improves thermal stability, and prevents chemical reactions in semiconductor processes.
Q3: Can low sodium WFA be used for optical polishing?
Yes, especially high-purity and ultra-low sodium grades. Their consistent particle size ensures scratch-free surface finishes.
Q4: What packaging options are available?
25 kg kraft bags or 1-ton jumbo bags. Vacuum-sealed moisture-proof packaging is available for semiconductor-grade materials.
We have been using Low Sodium WFA Micro Powder #8000 for precision polishing of stainless-steel components. The particle-size consistency is excellent, and the ultra-low Na₂O level clearly improves the finish stability compared with ordinary WFA powders we used before. The powder cuts cleanly without scratching and delivers a very smooth final surface. Quality is stable from batch to batch, and it works perfectly in our slurry system. Highly satisfied.
