Zirblast beads give outstanding cleaning and finishing results on stainless steel equipment when used in Cabilux® Zirblast® blasting room specifically designed by SciTeeX®.
Efficacity and durability in blasting
Zirblast ceramic beads exhibit a specific micro-structure of crystalline zirconia (ZrO2) embedded into a glass matrix. This makes Zirblast a unique blasting media that features:
- High hardness to enable effective energy transfer at the impact point
- High toughness to ensure media stability over hundreds of blasting cycles
- No contamination of the treated surface
- Very low generation of dust to ensure productivity and limit the wear of the blasting equipment
