2 ALUMINIUM-HYDROXIDES The aluminium-trihydroxide production is based on Bayer process, where the raw material is bauxite. Aluminium-trihydrate (ATH) is produced in different grades: wet, dried, ground and finely precipitated ones. Most important characteristics of ATHs are: - non-toxic - medium abrasive power - soft (Mohs hardness appr. 2.5) - chemically bounded water, looses appr. 35 % water-content between C - strong adsorption of oil and water WET- AND DRIED HYDRATES Wet and dried hydrates are mainly used as raw material in the production of: - synthetic zeolites - aluminium compounds - glasses, ceramics, refractories - other chemical products WET AND DRIED HYDRATE TYPES Wet types Dried types ALH-D80 ALH-W AF Al(OH) 3 * % ** ** SiO 2 % ** ** Fe 2 O 3 % 0.02 ** ** 0.02 Na 2 O total % 0.2 ** 0.3 ** Moisture % Bulk density kg/m Average particle size d 50 µm Whiteness % 75 ** 90 ** ** Determined in dried material at 105 o C

3 GROUND, VISCOSITY OPTIMIZED AND FINE PRECIPITATED HYDRATES All these grades are white (whiteness > 90 %) Ground and finely precipitated hydrates are mainly used as environmentally friendly flame retardant filler materials in the production of: - cable insulation - thermoplastics - cross-linked elastomers - polyurethanes - PVC - water-based dispersions - polyester resins - papers - epoxy resins - paints Al(OH) 3 * % SiO 2 % Fe 2 O 3 % 21AF GROUND HYDRATE TYPES 2AF 28AF 8AF 38AF 30AF 50AF 59AF Na 2 O total % Moisture % Bulk density kg/m 3 Aver. particle size d µm Whiteness % GROUND AND FINELY PRECIPITATED HYDRATES Cumulative values [ %] ,0 0,1 1,0 10,0 100, ,0 grain size [µm]

5 ALUMINIUM-OXIDES The alumina production is based on wet hydrate resulted from Bayer process. To fulfil the different requirements we produce a wide range of alumina and ground alumina with normal and low soda content, controlled specific surface and different grinding fineness of grain. Important characteristics of aluminium-oxides are: - non-toxic - medium to high abrasive power - Mohs hardness appr. 9 - high chemical resistance - good fire-resistance - good ceramic properties UNGROUND- AND GROUND ALUMINAS Ground and unground aluminas are mainly used in the production of: - fused white, ruby and pink corundum - household ceramics - tabular alumina - engineering-ceramics - glazes and frits - refractories - glasses - polishing and abrasive materials B15 Al 2 O 3 * % 91 Na 2 O total % 0.4 Fe 2 O 3 % SiO 2 % CaO % Ex CALCINED ALUMINAS Ex Ex Ex325 Ex33 GB1 Ex34 Ex35 LS α-al 2 O 3 % ** 98 ** 98 ** Loss on ignition % Specific surface area BET Primary crystal size Average particle size d 50 m 2 /g µm µm Bulk density kg/m ** Only for information

9 GALLIUM Gallium is a relatively rarely occurring element. Our company is one of the few primary gallium producers in the world. As a result of different purification process, metal gallium is produced with purity of to %. The main application fields of gallium are: - optoelectronic devices, LEDs - semi-conductors - very high frequency communication devices - computing (IT) equipments Elements GALLIUM 4N Detection limit ppm (weight) Al 1 Mg 1 Si 1 Fe 1 Ni 1 Cu 5 Zn 10 Hg 12 Pb 2 GALLIUM 6N and 7N with much less impurities content (measured in ppb) than Gallium 4N are also produced by MAL and were certified in Canada.
