Characteristics of stainless abrasives
- They are used mainly for cleaning metals that do not rust, such as aluminium, zinc, stainless steel, brass, bronze and so on.
- They stand out for their low consumption, high performance and low wear on the machine.
- Their greatest advantage is the very bright surface they leave on aluminium and stainless steel components.
- There is no risk of unsightly staining.
- They are the most durable of all the metallic abrasives and they produce no dust at all.
- They are used mainly in centrifugal wheel blasting machines and in blasting rooms with pressure blast pots.
- Highly durable, for hundreds of cycles.
