Emery

The mineral upon which Washington Mills was first established more than 155 years ago, naturally occurring emery ore is an intimate mix of corundum – a natural form of aluminum oxide – and magnetite.

 

From that emery, Washington Mills produces aluminum-oxide rich EMERUNDUM®. The high percentage of aluminum oxide in emery makes EMERUNDUM® extremely hard, tough, and fracture resistant.

EMERUNDUM® is crushed only from specially selected abrasive emery ore containing not less than 58% aluminum oxide.
