ecofriendly hiperformance abrasives
ecoblast is an inert, synthetic mineral with similar chemical and physical properties to natural garnet. It is the future in abrasives, as it improves in all areas of performance, using less product, higher paint adhesion and lower paint consumption.
economical
ecoblast® is a manufactured abrasive that competes in performance with garnet at a much lower cost.
High speed, cost effective blasting
Blasting surface profiles to correct surface profiles increases paint coverage
Quality Finish
Achieves perfect surface profile for the best paint coverage and addition
Maximizes paint dry film thickness
Low calcium oxide (CaO)
Materials with higher levels of CaO are typically softer.
High Aluminium Oxide (Al₂0₃)
Aluminium oxide is a world renowned abrasive material.
Low silicon dioxide (SiO₂)
Materials with higher levels of SiO₂ are typically softer.
