Microlux
Microlux glass beads are used in shot-peening and surface finishing systems for the cleaning of components requiring delicate treatment. They effectively clean surfaces while preserving dimensions, tolerances and the original characteristics of the treated parts.
Thanks to their spherical shape and controlled impact action, Microlux glass beads are particularly suitable for finishing, cleaning and surface preparation operations where high-quality results are required without damaging the substrate.
Microlux: highly resistant to wear and impact while providing gentle and uniform surface treatment.
Features and Benefits
Gentle Cleaning Action
Ideal for cleaning and finishing operations where surface contamination must be removed without altering the component.
Chemically Inert
Glass beads are chemically inert and do not react with the treated materials, ensuring safe and controlled processing.
Free from Lead and Sulphides
Microlux does not contain free lead or sulphides, contributing to safer and cleaner surface treatment operations.
No Free Silica
Free silica is not present, as SiO₂ is chemically bound within the glass structure, improving operator safety.
High Durability
Excellent resistance to wear and impact provides consistent performance and long service life.
Uniform Surface Finish
Produces clean, homogeneous and aesthetically pleasing surfaces while preserving the integrity of the component.
Applications
Microlux glass beads are used in a wide range of industrial sectors:
- Glass manufacturing
- Mechanical engineering industries
- Grinding operations
- Foundries
- Aviation and aerospace
- Jewelry manufacturing
- Dental laboratories
- Galvanic treatments
- Chrome plating operations
- Mold and die cleaning
When to Choose Microlux
Microlux is the ideal choice when components require cleaning, finishing or surface preparation while maintaining their original dimensions and characteristics. It is particularly suitable for precision parts, delicate materials and applications where surface quality is a critical requirement.
