Emery

Based on aluminium oxide and silicon compounds, produced by crushing emery ore and processing it through melting or heat treatment, washing and grading. A matte general-purpose abrasive widely used for sandblasting, grinding stones and lapping.

Features

  • Balanced toughness and strength give a broad application range
  • Fine size distribution enables high-precision polishing
  • Angular particle shape with high density and toughness gives long life
  • High hardness with moderate friability delivers excellent cutting and grinding power

Applications

  • Pre-treatment for Teflon and ceramic coating on kitchenware
  • Pre-treatment for thermal spray coating and painting in shipbuilding
  • Scale removal after heat treatment
  • Stone working and wood or glass etching
  • Sand removal from casting molds and die-casting mold cleaning
