Ceramic Beads have very fine microstructure featured strong mechanical resistance and high toughness, chemically inert, low-dust emission, do not contaminate the treated surface, especially suited for tool cleaning and surface preparation applications.
Ceramic beads have higher density than glass beads and thus a better treatment efficiency and lower density than steel shot, which allows to save energy and preserve work parts.
They’re stable with high finishing efficiency and low abrasion to equipment. The treated surface of parts is smooth, uniform and even without contamination. They are widely used for gentle cleaning, descaling, deburring, smoothing, dulling, surface-finishing, hardening, shot peening etc.
