Why Choose “Firestorm Extreme” Made With Actirox Grain for Quick Lock Discs, Resin Fiber Discs, and Sanding Belts?
New | Advanced | Effective
Actirox grain is an advanced new type of grinding and sanding material proven to be more effective for most applications and lasts longer when compared to other traditional ceramic grains. This material is designed for peak performance and is currently only manufactured by a select group of manufacturers worldwide.
Preferred Abrasives is proud to offer “Firestorm Extreme” products made with Actirox grain. Available in quick-lock discs, resin fiber discs, and sanding belts, we provide the highest-performing products for your project. Here’s why you should choose Actirox grain over other materials.
What is Actirox Grain?
Actirox grain falls into the new category of ceramic grains called “precision shaped grains”. They produce less heat, cut faster, and last longer than standard grinding grains such as Aluminum Oxide, Zirconia, or regular Ceramic. Actirox grains are triangular-shaped ceramic grains that wear evenly, providing exceptional durability with remarkable consistency.
Currently, only a few global manufacturers produce precision shaped grains including:
- 3M offers its version under the trade names: Cubitron II and Cubitron 3
- Norton offers its version under the trade name: Norton RazorStar Precision Shaped Grain
- VSM offers its version under the trade name: Actirox
8 Benefits of Actirox Grain
Actirox grain provides an aggressive cut with low contact pressure, resulting in less noise and vibration, thereby reducing the strain on the machine or operator. The grain slices through the substrate with less pressure and continually fractures into new sharp cutting edges, extending the lifespan of the abrasive product. This enables faster cutting times, reducing the time spent on the grinding process and improving production efficiency.
Actirox grain provides eight benefits for operators including:
- Increased stock removal reduces costs on additional discs or belts
- More than double the stock removal compared with conventional ceramic grain abrasives
- Improved chip removal – even when grinding aluminium
- Aggressive grinding is ensured by upright abrasive grain at an optimal angle
- Additional grinding-active layers help to ensure optimum performance: TOP SIZE ensures a cool cut
- Grinding is completed faster, with less pressure, allowing for improved production time
- Reduced changeover due to its longer lifespan
- Greater stock removal is achieved than expected with the specified grit size, without a rougher surface. A real benefit for your grinding process.
