Select the best option for your application based on the glass bead grit size you currently use.
EpiX MP
EpiX MP offers a uniform, 1.0 to 2.0 mil profile that removes surface oil, grease, dirt, and even extra-tough coatings to produce an SP 5 finish. Choose this product for operations normally requiring an 80- 90-, 100, or 120-grit aluminum oxide, steel grit, stainless steel grit, silicon carbide, garnet, etc.
EpiX LP
EpiX LP develops a 0.5 to 1.5 mil profile depth that is ideal for ultra-low profile requirements or softer metals. It replaces 150 and 180 grit aluminum oxide, steel grit, stainless steel grit, silicon carbide, garnet, etc.
10X Superoxalloy Abrasive vs. Glass Bead Abrasive
It’s time to retire glass bead blasting media. Using this material in your blasting operations can create:
- Limited cutting power can be attributed to glass bead blasting due to the abrasive’s softness.
- Low reusability is a common drawback of glass blasting media.
- Glass bead blasting leaves a peened profile which tends to have a lower adhesion potential.
- Glass bead media is one step in a multi-step blasting process. 10X superoxalloy can consolidate your operations into a single step blasting process.
Make an engineered decision and move to 10X Engineered Materials’s superoxalloy — an innovative solution that outperforms glass bead 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.
