Non-Abrasive Products

Non-Abrasive Products

Non-Abrasive products do not contain abrasive; therefore are incapable of significant metal removal, unless used in combination with acid accelerants. Non-abrasive media is long lasting and is typically used for burnishing and polishing. Ceramic products available for non-abrasive applications are DURAMEDIA® FB, 10, 120, 140, and DURALUM® XM. DURAMEDIA® Steel products, 304ss and 1013 are also offered as non-abrasive media.

DURAMEDIA® 10

DURAMEDIA® 10

DURAMEDIA® 10 is an extremely hard, fine grained, abrasive-free ceramic media. It is a proven choice for use in chemically accelerated processes due to its exceptional impact resistance. (85 lbs. /cubic foot, color: ivory)

Applications

The most common applications for DURAMEDIA® 10 include: burnishing (with proper compounding), polishing, light deburring, and driving loose abrasives.

DURAMEDIA® 120

DURAMEDIA® 120 is a high-density abrasive-free media. (120 lbs./cubic foot, color: brown)

Applications

DURAMEDIA® 120 will produce a light radius on all metals and is excellent with chemically accelerated processes.

DURAMEDIA® 140

DURAMEDIA®140 is the preformed version of our DURALUM®XM product, which is extruded to shapes and sizes that address applications which seek to minimize lodging. (140 lbs./cubic foot, color: dark brown)

Applications

DURAMEDIA®140 is long wearing and provides light radiusing on all metals. It can be used as a burnisher and with chemically accelerated deburring products.

DURALUM® XM

DURALUM® XM is a sintered ceramic tumbling nugget with exceptional properties. Hard, durable ad extremely dense. (140 lbs. /cubic foot, color: dark brown)

Applications

DURALUM® XM is principally used in mass finishing burnishing applications. It can also be used for light burr removal, radius formation, and is an effective driver for loose abrasives in cut and color operations. It is a coloring abrasive; its hardness, toughness, and extremely fine-crystalline structure make it one of the best products for developing a lustrous, high-color burnish on all types of ferrous metals, brass, and aluminum. It is also an excellent substitute for steel metal applications.

DURAMEDIA® Carbon Steel

DURAMEDIA® Carbon Steel is made from low-carbon steel in AISI/SAE.

Applications

DURAMEDIA® Carbon Steel 1013 is excellent for slight deburring, stress relieving, and strengthening.

DURAMEDIA® Stainless Steel 300 Series

DURAMEDIA® Stainless Steel 300 Series is the most common chemistry of stainless steel media, and is recommended when complete freedom from rust is essential. It can cut finishing times by using more acidic compounds in aggressive processes and has the ability to resist corrosion and can eliminate or reduce compounds. It can eliminate contamination from chemical interactions (i.e., iron impregnation) that takes place during some finishing processes. Maintenance, storage and handling costs of stainless steel are much lower than carbon steel.

Applications

DURAMEDIA® Stainless Steel 304ss is ideal for removing small burrs, stress relieving, polishing, and brightening.
