Clay slag - Abrasive sand for sandblasting - ASILIKOS

ASILIKOS® stands out as an excellent abrasive sand for sandblasting, offering top-tier German quality. It is a slag with a predominantly amorphous structure and vitreous character, produced as a by-product of copper extraction through casting. This chemically inert synthetic mineral contains no water-soluble components, ensuring that all metals are securely bound in silicates.

Performance and Usage

• High Abrasive Capacity: Perfect for use in compressed air systems for sandblasting, especially in the naval sector and heavy carpentry.
• Low Dust Sandblasting: Effective for sandblasting materials such as steel, metals, concrete, reinforced concrete, wood, and glass. It cleans surfaces, removes rust, and creates opaque finishes.
• Durability: Can be reused 6 to 10 times without losing its exceptional cutting capacity.
• Specific Weight: 3.50 ton/m³
• Low Friability and Consumption: Ensures high productivity and minimal material consumption during universal sanding.
• Compatibility: Suitable for universal sandblasting, sandblasters, shotblasting machines using compressed air, and high-pressure water jet cleaning (1000 bar / 15,000 psi).
