HPX BLACK

HPX / BLACK is a product that, combined with the shining compounds suitable for each type of metal, has the remarkable advantage to eliminate the problem of oxidation that usually involves the traditional stainless steel balls AISI 420. With this product there is no transfer or oxidized metal during the process, there fore no more acid degreasing and a minor discharge of water to drain. The remarkable hardness and the low specific gravity permit to obtain a very fine finish without the “Orange peel” phenomenon that frequently involves the traditional treatments with stainless steel balls. Another important characteristic of this material is that it allows the processing of very thin and fragile objects (i.e.: in the gold industry, the “gap”) assuring with one single step smoothing and shining without modifying the colour, emphasising the natural characteristics of the metal.
HIGH DENSITY CERAMIC MEDIA SUITABLE FOR TUMBLING EQUIPMENT, OPTIMIZED COST FOR A HIGH SHINING EFFECT.

HPX / BLACK HIGH DENSITY

• Used with water.
• Shining process with shampoo shining.
• HPX BLACK can be washed with just water.
• HPX BLACK does not oxidize, so the finished pieces will have a light color.
• HPX BLACK does not cause “orange peel” effect and the pieces can be left in vibratr even 24 hours.
• HPX BLACK wear is not quantifiable.
• HPX BLACK is not magnetic so if it falls, it cannot be picked-up easily.
