Altech Batteries (formerly Altech Chemicals) is aiming to become one of the world's leading suppliers of 99.99% (4N) high purity alumina (HPA) (Al2O3). HPA is a high-value product because it is the major source material for scratch-resistant artificial sapphire glass. Sapphire glass is used to produce a range of high-performance electronic applications such as LEDs, semi-conductors, phosphor display screens, as well as new emerging products such as smartphones and tablet devices.
The company was previously known as Australia Minerals & Mining Group before changing its name to Altech Chemicals in November 2014 and to Altech Batteries in February 2023.
