• Zirgrit F are ceramic grits based on a Zirconia – Silica composite, with a unique microstructure that provides optimum toughness and mild abrasiveness for a softer cleaning and smooth satin finish. 

    Considering their blasting performance, Zirgrit® F grits can be considered as a compromise between ceramic blasting beads and alumina grains :

    • Compared to ceramic beads like Microblast ®, Zirgrit F provides a specific effect on metallic surface texture, with a mat and dark finish
    • Compared to alumina grits, Zirgrit® F is less aggressive, provides smoother surface finish and preserves integrity of fine geometries, and generates less particle embedment and substrate contamination.
  • As a consequence, Zirgrit® F grains are well adapted for cosmetic finishing of metallic, glass and polymer substrates, as well as precision cleaning and precision deburring.
