White alumina, also known as aluminium oxide, is obtained from the oxide-fused mineral using an electric arc furnace. The substance is composed primarily of alumina (AlO3). Calcined aluminium oxide, obtained from bauxite by the Bayer process and with a purity of 99% and above, is used in ceramics, refractories, glass, frit, paint and abrasives and similar industries. Its properties, including a fine grain size, homogeneous grain distribution, high whiteness and purity, make it a highly sought-after material in its field. It is important to note that calcined aluminium oxide is free of respirable free silica (SiO2), in line with rigorous occupational health and safety standards.

Our sandblasting protection helmets comply with all international requirements and are CE-approved and certified. Another CE-approved feature is the nylon or leather cape attachment, which is designed to protect the upper body against rebounding abrasive. Fresh air is supplied via a CE-approved breathing hose. A chinstrap is an essential component of a helmet, as it ensures the helmet remains level with the eyes and maintains position regardless of movement. The multiple safety lenses, scratchproof and highly durable, are fixed in layers within the lens frame and can be easily replaced.

The choice of overalls indicates that protection and comfort are equally important in the sandblasting process. A key priority has been the design of the blast overalls, with the aim of achieving a balance between enhanced safety and the preservation of mobility, breathability and basic comfort. Our blasting overalls are crafted from durable, soft cotton and are fitted with high-quality suede leather components. This part of the suede leather is placed over the suit at the points on the torso and limbs. This is to ensure the operator's protection against the impact of abrasive sands. The suit is protected against the ingress of dust and contaminants by user-friendly fasteners and tapes.

A coating thickness gauge, also known as a paint meter, is a tool used to accurately mesaure dry film thickness. In the coatings industry, dry film thubsickness is arguably the most critical measurement due to its significant impact on the coating process, quality and cost. Dry film thickness measurements are an essantial tool for evaluating a coating's expected life, the product's appearance and performance, and ensuring complience with a range of international standards. The dry coating measurement process utilises a digital thickness gaugei enabling precise and non-destructive thickness measurement on various surfaces, including magnetic steel and non-magnetic metals such as stainless steel and aluminium. Digital coating thickness gauges are the ideal solution for measuring coating thickness on metallic substrates. Electromagnetic induction is used for non-magnetic coatings on ferrous substrates, such as steel, whilst the eddy current principle is used for non-conductive coatings on non-ferrous metal substrates.

Fluorite (CaF2) is a calcium fluoride mineral that contains 51.3% calcium and 48.7% fluorine when pure. The term derives from the Latin word fluere, meaning "to flow", which is relevant given its use as a slag maker in metallurgy and its low melting point. The substance is crystallised in the cubic system and has a Mohs hardness of 4, a specific gravity of 3.18 g/cm³, a melting temperature of 1330°C, and displays colours such as purple, green, blue, yellow, white, pink, brown and bluish black. It is transparent and translucent. The colour of the crystal varies according to the impurity element in the crystal lattice. Fluorite also contains rare earth elements that give it fluorescence and affect its colour properties. The substance exhibits blue or purple fluorescence when viewed under the effects of cathode and ultraviolet light. It displays phosphorescent properties when heated. In the commercial field, fluorite can be categorised into three distinct classes, each with specific industrial applications. Acid industry: Utilised as Asitspar or Acid grade, this class of fluorite is employed in the production of acids. Chemical industry: Known as Ceramicspar or Ceramic grade, this class of fluorite finds application in the chemical sector. Metallurgical industry: Designated as Metspar or Metallurgical grade, this class of fluorite is integral to metallurgical processes. - Hydrofluoric acid, produced from fluorite with a minimum of 97% CaF2 content, is categorised as Acid grade. This acid is a crucial raw material in the manufacture of numerous industrial products. The primary chemicals produced from acid grade fluorite are chlorofluorocarbon, tri and dichlorofluoromethane and ethanes, which are used as refrigerants, foam blowers and solvents. - Fluorite with 80-96% CaF2 content, categorised as ceramic grade fluorite, is utilised in the ceramic (3%), glass (10-20%) and enamel (3-10%) industries. These products are used in a variety of industrial processes, including the production of glaze in the ceramic industry, white and coloured opal glass in the glass industry, clinker in the production of Portland cement, and the coating of steel parts of stoves, refrigerators and cooking appliances. They are also used in the production of glass wool. HF is the primary raw material in the metallurgical industry and in the production of aluminium fluorite and synthetic cryolite. These are used in the production of aluminium metal by electrolysis. - Fluorites with 60-85% CaF2 content, categorised as metallurgical grade, are employed in steel production to achieve several objectives. These include reducing slag surface pressure, lowering melting temperature and slag viscosity, extracting undesirable elements such as Si, S, P and C from iron by passing them to slag, and preventing abrasion of refractory bricks. In addition to its use in the steel industry, it is employed as a binding agent in the production of abrasives. Fluorite is a versatile mineral that finds application in a variety of industrial sectors. It is used in the production of artificial rubber and aerosol products, as well as in the production of magnesium and calcium metal. Additionally, fluorite is employed in numerous industrial branches and as an electrode coating material, offering a substitute for rutile.

The primary consideration when working with high-carbon steel shots is that the hardness of the shots used should be at least 3-5 HRC harder then the blasted surface. This ensures that the cleaning and roughtness achieved on the surface can be fasterand meet the desired specificatons. It is important to note that using shot with a lower hardness than that of the blasted surface will prolong the blasting time and will not achieve the desired cleaning. This has led to increased labour and energy consumption in the shot blasting process The cost of the shot blasting process is largely dictated by the cost of the blasting material, which accounts for only 10-15% of the overall expense. The remaining 85-90% of the cost is attributed to labour and energy expenses. For this reason, it is vital to select material with the appropriate hardness and grain size in order to minimise process costs.
