Technical Specifications:

​

  • Grain shape: Spherical → round surface, low corner stress

  • Abrasiveness: Low — gentle cleaning/surface preparation of the surface

  • Ability to add shine to the surface

​

Advantages:

​

  • Light cleaning/polishing without damaging the surface

  • Safe for aluminium, light metals, sensitive surfaces

  • Minimizes the risk of dust and metal splatter

  • Especially suitable for jobs requiring surface cleaning and surface shine before painting.

​

Areas of Use:

​

  • Light cleaning and surface preparation (before coating, painting)

  • Aluminum profiles, light metal constructions

  • Precision part surfaces (composite, plastic, precision metal)

  • Surface cleaning before coating and galvanization
