Consistent results
We have switched to this brand for our lab's daily polishing needs. The W0.3 grade removes previous grinding marks efficiently and leaves a flawless surface for microscopy.

Perfect for metallographic samples
This powder delivers an exceptional mirror finish on our steel samples. The particle size distribution is very consistent, resulting in scratch-free surfaces every time.

Great for jade carving
I use the W0.5 grade for the final polishing stage of my jade pieces. It brings out a brilliant luster without being too aggressive. Highly recommended for lapidary work.

Excellent for hard materials
Used this on sapphire substrates and it performed beautifully. No clumping issues when mixed with distilled water. A staple in my workshop now.

Good value for precision work
Works well for diamond tool sharpening. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that the packaging could be more secure to prevent spills, but the product quality itself is top-notch.

Fine powder, great finish
The texture is extremely fine as advertised. It takes a bit of time to polish larger areas, but the resulting shine on gemstones is worth the effort.
Q: Is this safe to use on soft metals like gold?
A: While effective, aluminum oxide is quite hard (9 Mohs). For very soft metals like pure gold, we recommend testing on a small area first or using a softer polishing compound to avoid potential micro-scratching.
Q: Can this powder be used with ultrasonic cleaners?
A: Yes, this aluminum oxide powder can be suspended in liquids used within ultrasonic cleaning setups for specialized polishing applications, provided the concentration is adjusted correctly.
Q: What is the difference between W0.3 and W0.5?
A: The number refers to the average particle size in microns. W0.3 is finer than W0.5 and is typically used for the final polishing step to achieve a higher degree of reflectivity, while W0.5 is excellent for intermediate fine polishing.
Q: Do you offer bulk packaging for industrial use?
A: Yes, we offer bulk quantities for industrial and laboratory settings. Please contact our sales team directly through the 'Contact Us' page for custom pricing and shipping options.
Q: How should I store the remaining powder after opening?
A: Please keep the jar tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Moisture can cause the fine powder to clump, which affects its polishing performance.
