Burundum Grinding Media

Argan shells are the shells of the seed inside the argan fruit. It is an odorless natural organic material, and the powder qualifies as vegan and halal. The trees, Argania spinosa, bearing the fruit, are found almost exclusively in Southern Morocco, and the fruit is considered a precious raw material due to its limited yearly yield. Physical state: Solid (powder or granules) Color: reddish/brown Odor: Slight to neutral pH: Neutral Flashpoint: > 100ºC Solubility in water: Limited solubility, water-repellent surface Incompatibility with other products: None Hazardous decomposition or by-products: Will not occur

Hexagonal boron nitride is an inorganic compound that’s chemistry enables it to form structures that are isoelectronic with carbon allotropes, including a flat, hexagonal crystal structure similar to graphite. It is a white powder that is very hard and chemically and thermally stable.

Wurtzite Boron Nitride (w-BN) is a thermally and chemically resistant hard ceramic refractory compound with a hardness greater than diamond. It has a polycrystalline structure that provides superior cutting properties and sharpens itself during cutting. It also is isoelectronic with its diamond carbon allotropes. Wurtzite Boron Nitride can be produced in two different particle shapes: plate and regular crystal.

Avocado stone is a natural organic material with most of the nutrients contained in its large, heavy stone. It is richer in amino acids, vitamins, and soluble fibers than any other fruit or vegetable. Avocado stone has a high antioxidant content making it attractive for many herbal remedies and anti-aging formulations. The powder has a somewhat nutty flavor. Due to its relatively high oil content, it should be eaten and processed in a fresh state.

Feldspar is a naturally occurring anhydrous, inorganic, igneous rock. A complex aluminum silicate (Tectosilicate) that contains varying amounts of sodium, potassium, and calcium. Feldspar is highly abrasive. Feldspar powder provides strength, durability, chemical inertness, and resistance to wear and can be added to achieve high solids content with low viscosity impact. KAlSi₃O₈ - NaAlSi₃O₈ - CaAl₂Si₂O₈

Crushed walnut Shell products including grains, flour, and powder, are biodegradable, non-toxic, and environmentally safe. They qualify as vegan and halal. The material is organic and has a harmonious light brown color and a neutral smell. It is the most common type of soft abrasive for industrial use. English Walnut Shell Scientific Name: Juglans Regia Black Walnut Shell Scientific Name: Juglans Nigra

Olive Pits, or stones, are natural materials that are sustainably sourced. They qualify as organic, vegan, halal, and kosher and are fully biodegradable. They have high particle stability, contain no allergens, and have a relatively homogeneous particle shape. They are a rich source of carbohydrates and easily digestible fibers.

Corn Cob Grit is an environmentally friendly free-flowing abrasive made from the hard cob. It is used primarily as a vibratory and tumbling media to absorb oils and dirt and to dry parts without affecting the surface of the parts. It is a safe and economical blasting media that can be used on delicate parts. Corn Cob grit is non-toxic, dust-free, long-lasting, reusable, and preserves micro finishes. Typical Physical Properties Hardness: MOH 4.5 Appearance: Granular angular particles Specific Gravity: 1.0 – 1.2 gm/cc

Apricot, Peach, and Plum Stone Powder are natural organic materials that are odorless. They qualify as organic, vegan, and halal and are fully biodegradable. Fruit stone shells are mostly comprised of insoluble fibers. They are a versatile base material and additive due to their neutral smell.
