Glass beads

Characteristics: Little abrasive, due to the spherical shape associated to the hardness and density of glass, they remove contaminations and finish surfaces, in the majority of cases, quickly and effectively, without destroying the tolerances of the treated parts. The material is inert, does not react with treated materials, as it does not encrust on the blasted surfaces. Its hardness is between 5 and 7 in the MOHS scale.

Applications: Cleaning, satin finishing, engraving, deburring, shot peening (peening: generates high micro-tensions which alter the normal characteristics such as resistance to fatigue, to friction, to cracks, to wear, to oxidation and to high temperatures, among the most important ones). Low productivity, medium recycling.

Auminum Oxide

Characteristics: Abrasive products with high cleaning power, in gray or grown color powder, obtained from bauxite, of minteral origin, with low degree of toxicity. High hardness: 9 in the Mohs scale, very tenacious and refractory, low reactivity and good stability, resistant to high temperature, fusion above 2000ºC, density of + or – 1.8 gr/cm3.

Applications: Can be used in blasting rooms or cabinets, for cleaning of parts in general, removal of oxidized layers, cleaning of "scales" resulting from heat treatment, preparation of surfaces to be painted or coated, besides metallic materials. It is also used on glass plastic or non-ferrous parts. It provides excellent productivity in pickling processes, preparations for painting or application of other coatings on ferrous metals. Excellent productivity, average recycling.

Steel Grit

Characteristics: High recycling, low dust generation, high productivity, used on ferrous metals, it is a metallic abrasive material, produced from selected steel.

Applications: Cleaning of metallic surfaces to eliminate corrosion up to white material and to produce an ancoragem pattern that improves adherence of later treatments, either through painting, metallization or rubberization. Used in room, cabinet or wheel blasting, and in equipment where the abrasive material can be recycled and purified for reuse. It can reach up to 400 cycles of useful life.

Angular Grit (Grit)
For cleaning of steel or cast iron metallic surfaces to eliminate corrosion up to white metal or to produce an ancoragem pattern that improves adherence of later treatment, through painting, metalization or robberization. Also used in stone cutting and polishing.

Steel Shot

For leaning of scales on cast of forged parts, generally in pressurized cabinets or wheel blasting equipment. For shot peening treatment it is normally used in pressure cabinets.

Sodium Bicarbonate

An ecological abrasive material , it does not contaminate the environment, it is biodegradable, and can be used for blasting applications on open areas in dry or wet blasting operations. It does not damage the part. Ideal for mould blasting.

Ideal meshes for blasting operations: Technical or extra-fine (edible).
