The term “satin” aptly defines the appearance and texture of a metal surface blasted with glass beads.

The impact of spherical surfaces creates a much smoother, less rough roughness than that caused by angular particles.

In addition to the beauty of the finish two more important points value the glass balls.

Its characteristics of not being abrasive and not contaminating the surfaces, already mentioned, which widens its field of application for delicate and high precision parts.

STAINLESS STEEL

It should be the final stage of finishing, eliminating any subsequent operation.

ALUMINUM

Blasting before anodizing. A touch of electropolishing gives a beautiful, slightly shiny matte.

PLASTICS

Two options: direct matting on each part or mold prior to tempering (very uniform and gentle microtexturing).

GALVANIC COATINGS

Pre-matting eliminates lengthy polishing operations.

WINDSCREEN WIPERS

and other parts on the hood or panels must be frosted by imposition of safety standards for the automotive industry.

CIRURGICAL INSTRUMENTS

It eliminates the brightness of the operative field and, by compaction, seals the surface microporosity, favoring asepsis.

MEASURING APPLIANCES

It should be the final stage of finishing, eliminating any subsequent operation.

STAINLESS STEEL

As with any graduated limb, matting makes it easy to read recordings.

– Opting for a matte finish on miter hardware or senitary metals is now a market requirement

– The elimination of polishing makes the plastic surface look thinner and more pleasant.

– Many parts can be blasted on drums. The low operating cost justifies its application in low value parts.
