Blasting media for an impact surface treatment
The ceramic beads LX 5100 are made of mineral oxides through electro fusion. These beads have a fine internal structure of zirconium crystals in a glassy silicon dioxide cover. Through this combination, a high density and high shock resistance exists.
The LX 5100 is used for surface treatments as cleaning, deburring and glazing. Also used for very precise surface treatment with a high uniformity obtained through a very accurate selection of the beads with relation to granulation.
Blasting methods
- by means of compressed air, dry or wet
- by means of turbine blasting
Characteristics of bead blasting
- very high shock resistance: the beads remain round for a long period
- very low dust formation
- a steady roughness
- low galvanization
- no metal pollution
