Aluminium Oxide<\/h3>\n

An aggressive and tough media suitable for different applications such as general blasting, surface finishing, grinding, polishing, matte finishing and edge rounding. It is also used for cleaning and preparing the component surface prior to plaiting or painting. Aluminium oxide is a durable abrasive media which can be recycled a number of times, making it a cost effective solution.<\/p>\n

Aluminium Oxide is much lighter than other abrasive blasting medias, thus minimising the possibility of parts made out of thin materials being damaged in the finishing process. Nonetheless, Aluminium Oxide has the properties which allow this media to deburr parts made from hard metals and sintered carbide.<\/p>\n

Glass Beads<\/h3>\n

Glass beads are great for\u00a0obtaining a clean, smooth, bright or satin finish. This media is a cost effective solution\u00a0as it can be recycled.\u00a0Glass beads are mainly used in the shot blasting cabinets<\/p>\n
