Surface Treatment Products

Saint-Gobain ZirPro offers a comprehensive range of zirconia-based ceramic blasting media engineered for surface treatment processes such as blast cleaning, surface preparation, surface finishing and shot peening.

ZirPro’s ceramic beads Zirblast®, Microblast®, Zirshot® , Zirsht HDC and Microshot® YZ are durable and efficient blasting media, delivering a smooth satin surface finish without contaminating the treated material.

ZirPro’s ceramic grits Zirgrit® F, Zirgrit® AZ&NZ provide long-lasting consistent mildly to strong abrasive blasting treatment, while achieving a uniform surface profile and matte finish.

ZirPro ceramic blasting media are designed for use with a wide range of substrates, including hard steel, stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, magnesium, brass, copper and plastics.  They perform efficiently in dry or wet pressure blasting systems as well as in wheel turbine blasting equipment for the beads.

ZirPro ceramic blasting media are produced in large volumes with stringent process controls to deliver the highest quality. The ZirPro R&D team can assist customers in designing blasting media tailored to specific needs.
