EpiX is available in three different ranges — select the best option for your application based on the aluminum oxide grit size you currently use.
-
EpiX EP
Enhanced, uniform profile for extra hard or tough coatings, including mill scale removal.
-
EpiX MP
Uniform, medium profile. Works on extra- hard or tough coating and removes oil, dirt and grease, leaving a clean SP 5 finish.
-
EpiX LP
Low Profile, uniform profile of less than 1.5 mils for your softer metals or ultra-low profile needs
10X Superoxalloy Abrasive vs. Aluminum Oxide Blast Media
It’s time to retire outdated and hazardous aluminum oxide blast media. Using this material in your blasting operations can create:
- Health issues like respiratory irritation and shortness of breath.
- Aluminum Oxide blasting media particle embedment in the surface, reducing coating adhesion.
- Excess wear and tear on blasting system consumables like blasting hoses and nozzles.
- Darkening on more delicate surfaces.
Make an engineered decision and move to 10X Engineered Materials’s superoxalloy — an innovative solution that outperforms aluminum oxide abrasive. Our blasting media is crafted to be better through careful material selection and controlled formulation. We create these particles with a byproduct of mineral wool insulation that produces the market’s only biosoluble abrasive. As a result, our abrasive blasting media solution:
- Supports healthier working environments.
- Causes no long-term harm to the lungs if inhaled.
- Generates dramatically lest blasting dust.
- Consumes less abrasive media per square foot.
- Improves productivity through faster surface preparation and the elimination of re-work.
- Produces more attractive finishes with no secondary cleaning steps necessary.
- Enhances the bond strength between the substrate and the coating system due to ultra-clean surfaces with little to no abrasive embedment.
- Delays rust bloom formation after blasting.
- Extends the life span of consumables like blasting hoses, nozzles, and fittings.
What Customers Are Saying
You don’t have to take our word for it. Hear from real customers about the results they achieve with EpiX.
I’m using 10X blast media and it worked very well… better than I expected, and it lasts far longer than aluminum oxide.
Overall, it is the best media I have used, and I’ve tried most of it. Our blast times have dramatically reduced. I will definitely stick with your product from here out.
