Abrasive blasting is a popular industrial process used to clean, prepare, and roughen surfaces. It involves propelling abrasive materials, such as sand, steel shot, or glass beads, at high speeds onto a surface through either compressed air or centrifugal force. However, the use of traditional abrasive blasting media has environmental concerns, and the industry is always looking for new ways to improve the process. This need has led to the development of polycarbonate granules as abrasive blasting media – a breakthrough that promises to revolutionize the industry.
Polycarbonate granules, already used in various industries, can now be applied as an abrasive blasting media for surface preparation, deburring, and cleaning. The granules provide the same surface finish quality as traditional abrasive materials but with additional benefits like low dust and noise generation. Unlike traditional sandblasting, the use of polycarbonate granules does not require containment measures, such as dust collection or floor covering. This feature of polycarbonate granules abrasive blasting makes the process environmental friendly and cost-efficient.
One major benefit of polycarbonate granules is its consistent spherical shape, which enables the abrasive to flow smoothly in the blast system, reducing the risk of equipment damage. The granules' high impact resistance and toughness result in reduced dust generation and a longer service life than traditional media. The superior performance is especially worthwhile in blast systems that usually require less frequent media replacement.
Polycarbonate granules' eco-friendly feature, sustainability, and low operating cost boost its competitive advantage in the abrasive blasting industry. The granules are available in various sizes and are suitable for different applications such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, construction, etc.
