CERAMIC MEDIA
 
Compositions

"FB" Media-For very fine burnishing

A ceramic media which contains no abrasive. It's recommeded for burishing and polishing operations. This very hard and long-wearing media weighs approximately 85 pounds per cubic foot and is off-white in color.

"F" Media-For light deburring and burnishing

"F" Media contains just the right amount of finely-sized aluminum oxide abrasives for light deburring. When used with proper compounds, it will impart a very desirable burnished, or polished finish. It weighs approximately 85 pounds per cubic foot and is white in color.


"ECH" Media-For cutting and fine finishing

"ECH" Media is a general purpose pre-tumbled media containing Aluminum Oxide abrasive. Intended primarily for medium cut applications. It will leave a smooth surface finish because of the size of the abrasive grain. Economically priced. "ECH" media is extremely efficient when the amount of the metal removal is compared to media wear. It weighs approximately 90 pounds per cubic foot and is dark brown in color.


"C" Media-For cutting or burnishing
"C" media contains a courser-grained aluminum oxide abrasive. Its rate of metal cut compared to media wear makes it a very efficient media. When used with proper compounds, "C" media will also provide a burnished finish. It weighs approimately 85 pounds per cubic foot and is blue in color.






"XC" Media-For aggressive cutting
This usually aggressive media gets to work right away in the removal of heavy burns, flash, or scale. Since it is made with finely sized aluminum oxide abrasive, amazingly good finishes can be obtained. It weighs approximately 85 pounds per cubic foot and is greenish-grey in color.


"HE" Media-For aggressive cutting and large equipment
Our "HE" media has been formulated for applications involving centrifugal force equipment and large cross-section vibrators. The Aluminum Oxide abrasive in this pre-tumbled media is blended with a hard ceramic body to increase durability and minimize fracturing. A very fast cutting composition, this media weighs approximately 100 pounds per cubic foot and is tan in color.

"SC" Media-Especially suited for materials to be welded, brazed or soldered
"SC" is an aggressive cutting media which contains silicon carbide abrasive grain. It is recommended for use on parts that can have no aluminum oxide impregnation (usually parts which are to be welded, brazed or soldered). It weighs approximately 85 ponds per cubic foot and is white in color with blue specks.

"H" Media- For super fast cutting
A tough, faster-cutting, longer-wearing, very efficient cutting media. "H" media contains aluminum oxide abrasive grain, weighs approximately 108 pounds per cubic foot and is grey in color.


"PZ" Media-Ideal for burnishing or accelerated chemical deburring
An extremely heavy, high-density media that can replace steel media for burnishing, increased weight decreases time cycles in acid process deburring. It weighs approximately 130 pounds per cubic foot and is cream in color.
