Ceramic Media for Steel - Sold in 50# increments

Media Formulations

• (P) polishing - This is a porcelain media that has no abrasive in it. It is used to polish all materials. It can be used as a second step or used alone when only a polish is required.
• (M) general purpose - This is a general purpose media that will give moderate burr removal on hard metals with very good media life. It may also be used on some aluminum alloys.
• (SF) super fast, good cutting and good life - This is a more aggressive media that will give good burr removal and good media life. It is used on all steels. This is our most widely used formulation.
• (UFX) very aggressive - This is a more aggressive than the SF. It will give very good burr removal and moderate media life. This media will leave a smooth finish and will work well when a second polish step is to be done.
• (DF) dense fast-cut - This is a very aggressive media that will have a high wear rate. It is used when aggressive burr removal is required because of material hardness , burr size or a desire to reduce run times.

Plastic Media for Aluminum and Soft Metals - Sold in 50# increments

Media Formulations

• (V) pre plate finish - This media is used where you need very light de burring and is used in the jewelry industry. It can also be used as a second step for parts that have already been de burred and you want a smoother finish for polishing.
• (X) general purpose - This is an excellent general purpose media for most aluminum alloys especially 6061-T6. It will produce fast burr removal, yet has good media life.
• (XV) higher wear - This media is very similar to the X , but is slightly more aggressive and will have a slightly higher wear rate.
• (Z-1) aggressive - This is a aggressive plastic media that will cut the harder aluminum alloys like 7075. It has a higher wear rate than the X , but will also give good burr removal and shorter run timed.
