Starball

Starball

This product is a hard and unyielding abrasive in spherical shapes. Starball is made by sintering fine Bauxite ore. Bauxite is the main ore used to produce Aluminium and consists 75% of Aluminium Oxide.Often used to replace brown fused aluminium oxide, Starball can be used with conventional abrasive blasting equipment, air-compressed pressure and suction jet blasting equipment. Sintered bauxite is also used for the followag applications: antiskid flooring, carving etching, finishing. grinding. lapping. polishing, rock tumbling, lapidary, sandblasting, slurry mixes, surface preparation and tumbling. It is exceptionally well suited for use with air compressed jet blasting equipment, both pressure and suction.

ZINGA® – The optimal solution for protecting solar panel systems

Rust is the number one “enemy” of solar panel mounting structures, leading to rapid degradation and reducing system efficiency.   To address this issue, ZINGA® has been developed as the optimal protection solution. Unlike conventional anti-corrosion paints, ZINGA® operates based on an electrochemical mechanism, creating an active protective layer that self-heals when scratched. This ensures…

Dehumidification In Abrasive Blasting

Discover why dehumidification is critical for successful abrasive blasting!   Without dehumidification during the blasting and coating process, corrosion can occur on exposed surfaces before a protective coating is applied, leading to significant operational challenges. If a blasted surface remains exposed for too long, ‘flash rust’ can develop, making the surface unsuitable for coating within…
