SURFIUM High Performance Grit
High efficiency steel grit media designed for Wheel blasting process prior to coating
Premium quality steel abrasive with a very narrow hardness range (+/- 1.5 RHC) to give a consistent surface profile for wheelblast abrasive. Developed specifically for the wheel-blasting process, it has the right level of aggressiveness to create an excellent and powerful anchor profile, while limiting machine wear and generating less dust than GH. Surfium™ will improve any coating’s durability in wheel blast processes.

wheelblast abrasive
Improved coating adhesion
- Narrow hardness range, leading to a highly consistent surface profile
- Reduction of dust left on parts due to the specific hardness of the product
- Low conductivity level (< 30 µS/cm), reducing the risks of coating blistering
Superior Performances : generates savings compared to traditional GL abrasives
- Significant reduction in consumption (-10 to -20%) and longer service life versus GL steel grit
- Reduced machine wear vs GL or GH grit
- Increase production speed due to an optimized blasting media process
- Optimum roughness (low dead-volume) providing a reduced paint consumption

Premium steel media
This exclusive combination of a Premium Product ensuring better performance than standard products, and a Premium Service to guarantee the optimum use of these products in order to obtain better results in terms of quality and cost, is a pillar of the W Abrasives philosophy.
Profilium™
PROFILIUM™ is a very hard steel grit, specially developed for air blasting applications. Since the particle size distribution of the new product is that of a ready-to-use working mixture, the frequency and amount of abrasive additions will have little or no effect on the profile result: a homogeneous surface profile is obtained. In terms of efficiency, PROFILIUM® is unequaled on the market.
