Polar Performance Materials Begins Shipments from State-of-the-Art Canadian Production Facility

Oakville, ON – Polar Performance Materials is pleased to announce its first shipment of high purity alumina (HPA) products from its state-of-the-art production facility in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. Polar utilizes proprietary technology and the latest in advanced production equipment to produce high-purity alumina powder, beads, and pucks which are shipped to customers worldwide.

“Polar Performance Materials has a strong foundation and a differentiated production process that allow us to deliver high performance HPA that consistently meets or exceeds customer requirements, enabling them to unlock greater value,” said Mike Ciarroni, COO.

Polar’s new facility produces customizable HPA powder, beads, and pucks. These products are used in high-performance applications, including semiconductor equipment components, sapphire crystal growth for LEDs and optical components, aerospace composites, thermal interface materials, lithium-ion batteries, and other industrial applications.

High-quality HPA products are a key enabler of low-carbon technologies including LEDs, electric vehicles, and energy storage.  Polar’s patented process has been utilized to produce HPA since 2018. This proprietary process is readily scalable at ultra-high purity, allowing Polar to adjust production volumes based on individual client’s needs. New production capabilities will allow Polar to expand into new high-performance applications and markets in the coming years.
