Alumina is a white, crystalline form of aluminum oxide with a sand-like consistency. We are the world’s largest third-party producer.

Most of the alumina we produce is smelter-grade, used to make aluminum metal. We also produce what’s known as non-metallurgical alumina, sold for a variety of industrial applications such as water purification and creation of refractory.
