Select the best option for your application based on the garnet media 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. Can remove powder coating, liquid coatings, paint, corrosion, and extra-tough coatings, leaving a clean SP-5 white metal finish.
-
DynamiX
Versatile, quick-cutting abrasive with a deeper profile suitable for heavy corrosion and thick or hard coatings.
-
KinetiX 20/70
KinetiX 20/70 is ideal for all-purpose use with a medium profile ranging from 2.5 to 3.5 mils. Choose this option for efficiently removing mill scale, coatings and corrosion in many industrial applications.
-
KinetiX 40/70
This grade is suitable for many medium-to-thick coatings as a general-purpose solution. Its 2.0-to-3.0-mil profile and SP-5 finish is great for medium duty jobs.
-
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. Garnet Abrasive Media
- Relatively rapid flash rust and a short rust bloom delay period.
- Garnet is a 100% mined product. This mining can be detrimental to the Earth and is carbon intensive.
- Garnet blast media will have inconsistencies in the quality of the media, because it is mined and has natural variations.
- Staining on steel is not uncommon with garnet blasting, and you may notice a yellow tinge to the metal.
Make an engineered decision and move to 10X Engineered Materials’s superoxalloy — an innovative solution that outperforms garnet 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.
Notice how the steel on the right has been tinged yellow due to being blasted with garnet media.
