Angular Granulate Based on Tempered Glass: Dust Lux
Dust Lux is an advanced abrasive made of angular granulate based on tempered glass. Free of minerals and iron, this abrasive is ideal for a wide range of industrial applications, providing an effective and delicate solution for rust removal, descaling, deburring, and other surface treatments. Let's look in detail at the technical features and applications of Dust Lux.
Features and Advantages of Dust Lux
Free of Minerals and Iron: Dust Lux is an abrasive free of iron and minerals, making it particularly suitable for treating metal materials sensitive to ferrous contamination, such as stainless steel and aluminum. This characteristic makes it ideal for processes where avoiding contamination is essential, ensuring clean results free of ferrous residues.
Angular Shape: Thanks to its angular shape, Dust Lux has a more pronounced abrasive effect compared to other abrasives like Microlux. This ensures greater efficiency in removing unwanted materials from the treated surface while maintaining a certain delicacy to avoid damaging more fragile materials.
Specific Weight and Density: With a specific weight of about 2.5 g/cm³ and a bulk density ranging between 1.2 and 1.8 g/cm³ depending on the grain size, Dust Lux offers an ideal combination of abrasive strength and lightness. This facilitates the handling and application of the material during sandblasting processes, improving operational efficiency.
Hardness: With a hardness of 6-7 on the Mohs scale, Dust Lux is hard enough to perform effective cleaning but less aggressive compared to harder abrasives like Coriblast. This balance allows for treating surfaces without damaging them, making it perfect for applications requiring a delicate touch.
Applications of Dust Lux
- Rust Removal: Dust Lux is perfect for delicate rust removal from metal surfaces, maintaining the integrity of the base material. Its iron-free composition avoids unwanted contamination, making it ideal for use on stainless steel and other sensitive alloys.
- Descaling and Deburring: Ideal for descaling and deburring metal components, Dust Lux ensures a smooth and flawless finish. Its effectiveness is due to the angular shape of the granules, which enhances the abrasive action without compromising the treated material's surface.
- Woodworking: Also suitable for woodworking, Dust Lux can be used to sand and finish wood surfaces without causing damage. Its delicacy compared to more aggressive abrasives makes it perfect for finishing work on fine wood.
- Treatment of Various Materials: Effective in working with aluminum, stainless steel, stone, and bricks, Dust Lux offers versatility in numerous industrial applications. The different available granulations allow the abrasive to be adapted to the specific needs of each job, always ensuring optimal results.
