High purity alumina (HPA) is a high quality, economically lucrative and highly sought after product as it is essential for the production of synthetic sapphire. Synthetic sapphire is used in the manufacture of substrates for LED lamps, semiconductor wafers in the electronics industry and scratch-resistant synthetic sapphire glass for wristwatches, optical windows and smartphone components. There is no substitute material for HPA in the manufacture of synthetic sapphire. I'd also not realised it is used in NICKEL-rich Li-ion batteries:
High purity alumina stocks are quietly preparing for an impending boom - *IMO HPA deficits incoming, so revenue increases from this stream could be another piece in the puzzle to assist balancing inflationary pressures.
