Ceramic Beads

Sandblasting material

Ceramic beads are high-performance spherical blasting and peening media made from high-strength zirconia-based ceramics. They offer exceptional hardness, durability, and recyclability, providing consistent surface finishes even under high blasting pressures. Resistant to wear, fracture, and chemical attack, ceramic beads are ideal for demanding applications requiring long media life, minimal dust, and precise surface treatment.

Features

Extremely hard and durable for extended service life
Spherical shape ensures uniform surface finishes
High resistance to wear, fracture, and chemical attack
Reusable with minimal breakdown and low dust generation
Suitable for high-pressure blasting and peening

Applications

Shot peening for fatigue life improvement in aerospace and automotive parts
Surface cleaning of molds, dies, and precision components
Cosmetic finishing of stainless steel, titanium, and aluminum
Deburring and descaling of metal parts
Surface preparation for coatings and bonding
