Feb. 28, 2006 – Nanophase Technologies, a maker of nanomaterials and advanced nanomaterial products, announced an extension to its line of alumina-based polishing products for electronics, displays, and optical polishing applications.
The new alumina nanoparticles developed specifically for these applications are essentially spherical, leading to what the company claims are excellent surface finish and significantly reduced defect rates.
In addition, the new NanoTek alumina is approximately 80 nanometers, twice as large as the company’s current alumina product, to increase removal rates in polishing while lowering cost.
