Documented Uses

• Emery is an impure form of corundum (aluminum oxide). Emery is used in abrasive emery cloth, wheels, and belts. Fine emory is used in lens grinding and lapidary work. [ACGIH] Emery is an impure variety of Al2O3 which may contain small impurities of iron, magnesium, and silica. Corundum is natural Al2O3. [NIOSH]
• Abrasive Blasting [Category: Clean]
• Aluminium oxide's most significant use is in the production of aluminium metal, although it is also used as an abrasive due to its hardness and as a refractory material due to its high melting point. (L758)
