What is Aluminum Oxide?

• Aluminum oxide is a hard, colorless, inorganic mineral.
• It is produced from abundant, bauxite ore which is mined from numerous locations around the earth.
• Aluminum oxide is also used to make hip replacements, sandpaper, polishing compounds, some toothpaste, ceramics, filtering and chemical purification materials.

• It is used in Wilsonart® Laminate and Wilsonart® Flooring because it provides additional abrasion and scratch resistance to the melamine resin at the top or decorative surface.
