In the case of electronic manufacturing, our fused minerals are used as an abrasive to etch, slice, clean and polish electrical components such as semiconductors. Fine abrasive powders are perfect for the job because they are extremely hard materials that work very precisely to cut and clean small and delicate electrical components.
Silicon Carbide and Aluminum Oxide are extremely hard materials that are excellent at slicing the silicon wafer or etching the transistors on the surface of the silicon wafers. The better the abrasive that is used, the less silicon that is wasted in the slicing process. There are hundreds of products that require an excellent quality, fine grit sized abrasive for manufacturing precision electronics; here are just a few applications:
