Ceramic microbeads are one of the best choices when it comes to bead blasting. They offer superior strength to glass microbeads and require reasonable projection power due to their lightness.

They are made of very resistant zirconia oxide and do not contain iron, which allows the processing of stainless steel and aluminum.

The ceramic microbead is a guarantee of durability and efficiency.

Description and advantages of ceramic microbeads

Ceramic beads are one of the best choices for bead blasting. They are around ten times stronger than glass beads and will last longer. They are lighter than steel or stainless steel beads, but require less blasting power. It's a less expensive solution in the long term, more environmentally friendly because ceramic microbeads are recycled a greater number of times in an ARENA BLAST sandblasting cabinet, and provides impressive sandblasting or microblasting results in terms of the result and surface appearance obtained.

They are produced from highly resistant zirconium oxide and, above all, are iron-free, so they can be used to treat stainless steel and aluminium.

With ceramic microbeads, you're choosing a durable, effective solution that works perfectly in ARENA BLAST blasting equipment.

Here is a table summarising the differences between grades of ceramic microbeads

Features	0 - 63 µm	63 - 125 µm	125 - 250 µm
Size	Very fine, for precise details	Medium and versatile	Bigger, for greater impact
Typical applications	Delicate finishes, sensitive surfaces	Standard cleaning, matt finish on stainless steel or aluminium	Stripping and finishing of surfaces requiring intense cleaning, most effective on thick paint rust
Impact force	Low, ideal for fragile materials	Medium will adapt easily	Strong, effective for resistant materials
Roughness obtained	Light and uniform	Matt, uniform surface finish	More pronounced roughness
Consumption and cost	More expensive, used in small quantities	Good compromise between efficiency and precision	Less expensive, consumed more quickly

Applications and sectors of activities

Impact surface treatments
Surface cleaning: descaling, desanding, derusting
Satin finishing, polishing
Hammering
Shot peening
Grinding of chemical products
Deburring
Post 3D SLS or MJF printing treatment, de-soldering, surface finishing

Recycling

Specific References

WARNING: Equipment, materials, and abrasives used for surface treatment can be hazardous if used carelessly. Many national regulations exist for materials and abrasives considered hazardous during or after use (waste management), such as free silica or carcinogenic or toxic substances. These regulations must therefore be complied with. It is important to ensure that adequate instructions are given and that all necessary precautions are taken.
