Transforming Industry: The 10X Sustainable Blast Media Story

A Journey Towards Sustainable Abrasive Innovation

In the world of industrial blasting, efficiency and environmental impact have long been at odds. As a plant manager or sustainability officer, you’ve likely grappled with this challenge. At 10X Engineered Materials, we recognized this struggle and set out to change the narrative.

Our mission: To empower people through sustainable engineering and scientific innovation that harmonizes well-being, environmental stewardship, and economic progress.

This mission led us to develop a revolutionary sustainable blasting abrasive that’s reshaping the industry.

The Birth of a Sustainable Blast Media Solution

Our journey began in the mineral wool manufacturing industry, where we saw an opportunity in what others considered waste. Through innovative engineering and materials science, we transformed industrial byproducts into high-performance, sustainable abrasive media.

Key Features of Our Sustainable Abrasive Media:

Particle size range: 0.1mm to 2mm, customizable for your specific needs

Mohs hardness: 7-8, matching the effectiveness of traditional abrasives

Bulk density: 95-105 lb/ft³, optimized for efficient blasting in your operations

Amorphous particle structure: enhancing durability and reducing dust in your workplace

Aligning with Your Sustainability Goals

We understand that as an industry professional, you’re under pressure to meet increasingly stringent environmental targets while maintaining productivity. Our sustainable blast media addresses these concerns through six key pillars:

Waste Reduction: Imagine reducing your landfill waste by up to 70%. Our sustainable blasting abrasive makes this a reality.

Emission Reduction: Picture your energy consumption dropping by 25-30% due to improved blasting efficiency.

Human Safety Enhancement: Envision a workplace with significantly reduced respirable dust, thanks to our biosoluble composition.

Ecological Protection: Consider the peace of mind knowing your blasting operations pose minimal risk to the environment, with TCLP results well below EPA thresholds.

Resource Optimization: Think about the positive impact of using 100% recycled content in your blasting media.

Asset Longevity: Imagine extending your asset life by up to 25% through more efficient cleaning and surface preparation, unlocking your coating systems’ performance.

Real-World Impact: A Case Study in Sustainable Blasting

Let’s consider the story of a shipyard that switched to our sustainable abrasive media. They were facing increasing pressure to reduce their environmental footprint while maintaining tight production schedules.

After implementing our sustainable blast media, they experienced:

An 80% reduction in abrasive consumption

70% lower disposal costs

25% increase in cleaning rate (from 12 ft²/min to 15 ft²/min)

Significant improvement in air quality, with dust levels dropping from 15 mg/m³ to less than 5 mg/m³

Enhanced surface profile cleanliness and consistency, leading to better coating adhesion and longer asset life

These improvements not only met their sustainability targets but also positively impacted their bottom line.

The Future of Sustainable Blasting: Your Role
