Industrial Abrasives
Through a clean mechanical process, we transform fruit stones and nutshells (olive stones, walnut and pistachio shells) into high-quality industrial granules that can be used for numerous abrasion processes, e.g.
- To clean or polish surfaces of tableware, furniture, floorings/tiles, machines, large vessels such as ships, and all kinds of facilities.
- For blasting plastic and rubber surfaces and removing paints, aluminum and zinc die casting, and electronics, for instance in shipyards or disposal facilities.
- As a replacement for silica when removing graffiti or pollution on public buildings, restoration of buildings, monuments, and bridges.
- For aircraft engine cleaning as well as cleaning of steam turbines in power stations.
Applications of Fruit Stone Powders as Industrial Abrasives
Fruit stone powders are excellent abrasives for a variety of industrial applications. Due to their high lignin and carbon content, fruit stone and shell granules are highly adaptable for processing and use in blasting.
Olive stone abrasives can be used at high pressures and in dry or wet environments. Proven applications include:
Natural Abrasive Grits in Surface Finishing
Blasting technologies are mostly applied to polish and smoothen a variety of materials. Especially high-tech components in the engineering or medical industry require effective abrasion without the risk of damaging the underlying part. BioPowder.com provides innovative performance grits of fully plant-based origin.
Natural Sandblasting Media for Rust Removal
Metal parts such as tools or machines require regular surface cleaning, especially to remove the effects of corrosion. For this purpose, we have developed high-resistance grits with variable particle sizes and shapes to suit a variety of sanding and blasting technologies. Our granular media are made exclusively from renewable side-stream resources.
Bio-Based Abrasive Granules as Drying Media
Industrial drying of components can often be enhanced when solid granules are added. Drying media can absorb impurities and protect parts from damage and agglomeration. BioPowder.com provides top-grade drying granules made of fruit shells and stones, available in various micron sizes - combining sustainability and maximum efficiency.
