White fused alumina segmental sand is a premium refractory material produced by melting high-quality industrial alumina powder in an electric tilting furnace at temperatures exceeding 2200°C. After the melting process, it is carefully cooled and screened. The dominant crystal phase in this material is α-Al2O3, which imparts a distinct white color. This sand serves as a crucial raw material for manufacturing high-grade amorphous and shaped refractory products. Its exceptional quality and properties make it highly sought after in various industries worldwide
