Performance Benefits

For metal cleaning, finishing, peening and deburring.

● Lower CTE (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion)

● Reduced warping / improved dimensional stability with low, uniform shrinkage

● High compressive strength ● Improved surface hardness and surface smoothness

● Improved flow at high loading

● Increase flex modules in plastic compounds

● Reduced VOC’s for paints and coatings

● Improved scrub, burnish and abrasion resistance

● Increased roundness, hardness and crush strength

● Rapid results: clean, finish, peen and deburr in one step

● Controlled results: ○ clean finish without significant metal removal or changing tolerances

● Versatile: ○ create a wide range of reproducible surface finishes

● Economical: ○ can be recycled/reused many times

● Chemically inert: no ferrous or other residues


Fine Beads
