10x Abrasive Media Explained

10x abrasives are an innovative type of blast media in which the raw materials used to make it are from the minerals used in insulation. Byproducts are carefully extracted from the cast-off minerals and are then melted at extremely high temperatures and cooled to produce amorphous glass fibers. The result is a revolutionary type of safe, highly durable, incredibly effective blasting media.

10x Effectiveness

The amorphous atom arrangement of the media provides a larger surface area than legacy media, meaning it will provide a more aggressive cut, while the strength of particles ensures they hold up against a variety of surfaces, prolonging their life and usage. 10x media gives you the results you want in a shorter amount of time.

10x Eco-Friendly

Made from minerals used in the manufacture of insulation, our engineering team takes what would normally be a waste by-product, and isolates, purifies, and classifies them into premium blast media. In addition, 10x is sustainably sourced and manufactured, it meets some of the most strict guidelines in relation to air pollution, so it’s not only better for your team, it’s better for the environment.

10x Safety

10x abrasive media surpass current safety standards set by both OSHA and the EPA and contain no free silica, no beryllium, and give off very little dust. Because they are engineered, they contain no crystalline structures, fracture planes, or contaminants.

10x Eco-Friendly

Compared to mined blasting materials, 10x offers a lower operating cost. Not only does it hold up to being recycled and used repeatedly, it’s effectiveness allows your team to get the job done fast without sacrificing quality. We all know time is money, and 10x abrasives can save you both.

10X - 10/20

4.0-6.0mil

Extra coarse abrasive. Also, 10/20 mesh has an extra deep profile. therefore the KinetiX 10/20 is ideal for removing thick or hard coatings.

10X - 20/40

2.5-4.0 mil

Coarse abrasive with a deep profile. This profile makes the abrasive suitable for hard coatings. The KinetiX 20/40 removes corrosion, coatings, oil, dirt and grease.

10x - 20/70

2.5-3.5 mil

All-purpose abrasive has a medium profile and is very efficient. The KinetiX 20/70 is perfect for removing corrosion, coatings and mill scale.

10X - 40/70

2.0-3.0 mil

Extra coarse abrasive. Also, 10/20 mesh has an extra deep profile. therefore the KinetiX 10/20 is ideal for removing thick or hard coatings.

EpiX EP
(Enhanced Profile)

Enhanced, uniform profile for extra hard or tough coatings, including mill scale removal.

EpiX MP
(Medium Profile)

Uniform, medium profile. Works on extra- hard or tough coating and removes oil dirt and grease, leaving a clean, bright SP 5 finish.

EpiX LP
(Low Profile)

Minimal profile ideal for coating removal as well as weld cleaning and surface etching. Safe for stainless steel.

10x Abrasive Applications and Uses

Surface Preparation

When you need to remove grease, dirt, rust, and other substances while achieving a slightly textured profile, 10x abrasives make it possible to do all your surface preparation in one single step.

Rust and Corrosion Removal

Rust and corrosion compromise the strength and structural integrity of steel and other metals, but 10x can strip away the rust oxidation, leaving behind clean, strong metal that is ready for paint or a protective coating.

Mill Scale Removal

When you need to remove grease, dirt, rust, and other substances while achieving a slightly textured profile, 10x abrasives make it possible to do all your surface preparation in one single step.

Paint Removal

From graffiti on brick and line stripes on pavement to signs on steel, cleaning off old paint is a simple, fast project with 10x.

Powder Coating Removal

Powder coating is one of the most difficult materials to remove from steel or aluminum, but with 10x, it cuts through the coating and rapidly strips it away, leaving behind a clean, bare surface that’s ready for a new coating.
