Why Synthetic Media?

For impingement and hammering caused by the heavy weight of ceramic media or residual foam from polyester plastic media which can stain your parts and clog your filtration, the only alternative is Synthetic MediaSynthetic Media is a water-base molded material very similar to plastic.  It's lighter and less dense with practically no foam residue.  Synthetic media is ideal for aluminum, brass, copper, silver and gold.  It's recommended for all softer metals and can be used on harder steel materials for smoothing and refining.  It can be used for quick flash removal for die-cast parts, while maintaining dimensions and improving finishes.  It also prepares surfaces with a smooth finish, for parts needing paint, anodizing, plating, oxide, chemical film and any other type of surface coating.

Advantages of Synthetic Media

  • Can produce low RA readings.
  • Matches wear rate of plastic once it absorbs water (20 minutes)
  • Can save up to 43% on tumble media costs (10 cu. ft. of synthetic media is 550 lbs versus 650 lbs of plastic media)
  • 30% pound per pound lower cost over plastic
  • 15% less synthetic media to fill the machine

For a smooth, low RA finish, exceptional cost savings and filtration ease, Synthetic Media is your best choice.
