Providence, RI (PRWEB) - Meller Optics, Inc. has introduced a line of high purity calcined alumina abrasive powders for grinding, lapping, and polishing a wide range of hard and semisoft optical materials.

Meller Microlux Alumina Powders feature two ultrapure grades of abrasives for use with a broad range of optical materials. The Microlux-R grade has large agglomerated particles for aggressive grinding and lapping that break down under pressure for final polishing and are 99.98% pure. For the ultra- fine polishing of semisoft crystalline and composite materials, Microlux-RZ is 99.99% pure with de-agglomerated powders and controlled particle sizes.

Ready to mix with de-ionized water, both Microlux-R and -RZ grades are ideally suited for application directly to optics on spot blocks. Offered in seven particle sizes from 0.05 to 3.0 microns, they can produce surface finishes to 10-5 scratch-dig on a wide range of hard and soft materials including zinc selenide, germanium, silicon, and stainless steels.

Meller Microlux Alumina Powders are priced from $27.00 to $52.00 per lb., depending upon grade, particle size, and quantity. Free samples and price quotations are available upon request.
