Atomized Aluminium Powder
High-Purity Atomized Aluminium Powder is a high-performance metallic powder produced via air atomization, resulting in irregular-shaped particles with controlled size distribution. It is widely used in mining explosives, thermit welding, metallurgy, chemicals, pigments, and energetic formulations.
The product range includes coarse, fine, superfine, and dust-grade powders, each optimized for specific industrial and pyrotechnic applications.
