WIWOX GMBH SURFACE SYSTEMS

WIWOX® EDK Stainless steel blasting abrasives are produced in a melting process and crushed into angular granules. It is distinguished by its long service life as well as its aggressiveness and presents an economic alternative to other angular blasting abrasives.

Due to its extreme hardness, WIWOX® SG high-carbon cast steel abrasive reaches an extremely high blasting intensity right from the start. It is produced in a melting process and gets its round shape through the subsequent atomising process. The metallic structure of this low-carbon cast steel abrasive is decisive for its long service life.

Due to the different thermal tempering, steel shot blasting abrasives type WIWOX® SK obtain different hardness classes from 40 – 43 HRC, 54 – 60 HRC up to greater than 61 HRC. Because of the different degrees of hardness, the steel shot in the operating mixture keeps its angular shape or becomes round during the application process.

Chilled iron grit blasting abrasives type WIWOX® HG are produced by melting cast iron. It receives its angular shape through the subsequent atomisation and breaking. The advantage of this blasting abrasive lies in the consistently high abrasiveness, as it remains sharp-edged in the mixture and the edges do not become round. It breaks up into smaller sharp-edged and aggressive particles during the blasting process.

WIWOX® SD rounded cut wire shot is mainly used for cleanblasting and shot peening. Depending on the quality of the raw material used, different hardness classes are obtained. We supply non-corrosive cut wire shot that meet the requirement of particularly high demands. Cylindrical cut wire shot blasting abrasives are cut from wire. The length of the grain is equal to the diameter. Grain shapes of different roundness are produced through the subsequent rounding of the cylindrical raw material, rounded from G1 – G3. Cut wire shot has a particularly long service life and are known for low dust generation.

Walnut shell abrasive type WIWOX® WA is a soft granulate and belongs to the organic abrasives. It is produced crushing, washing and sieving the walnut shells. Walnut granules are particularly suitable for the gentle cleaning of delicate surfaces.

Plastic blasting abrasives type WIWOX® KS have been specially developed for optimum, chemically neutral surface treatment and all gentle cleaning – especially for plastic and light metal. They are mainly used for paint stripping, roughening, matting, deburring and cleaning. Plastic blasting abrasives produce consistently high quality and do not cause any damage to the work piece to be treated.

Plastic is a thermoplastic and belongs to the organic polyamidebased blasting abrasives. WIWOX® KS nature high-quality blasting and deburring medium is particularly suitable to treat duroplast and rubber components without damaging and matting them. Available in cylindrical or exact cubic shape, it is characterised by high impact strength, dimensional stability and extremely long service life. We also supply an antistatic agent for subsequent or sustained application in liquid form.

WIWOX® 250 is a very alkaline cleaning concentrate for organic (oil, coal, grease etc.) and inorganic (magnesium, lime etc.) residues on tools and moulds. It can be rinsed off residue-free without a film on the surface. The concentration depends on the working conditions, the degreasing time, the degree of soiling, etc. (between 5 – 30 %). Regular replenishment by checking the bath can prolong its service life. In contrast to powder concentrates, lthe iquid formulation allows convenient use without danger of exothermic reaction in the plant.

WIWOX® 340 is a weakly alkaline cleaning agent for grease, oil and oil carbon soiling. Very suitable for pre-cleaning or basic cleaning of soiled steel, cast iron and non-ferrous metal or plastic parts in an ultrasonic bath or in a spray cleaning system. After cleaning and without water rinsing, the parts are temporarily protected against corrosion. The final drying can be accelerated by blowing off with compressed air, a warm air flow or treatment in a drying cabinet. WIWOX® 340 can be used in a concentration of 5 – 7 %. Dilution with water depends on the degree of contamination and the intended exposure time. The bath should have a temperature of approx. 60° C. The bath should be kept at a constant temperature. In the field of precision mechanics, longer exposure times are possible depending on the degree of contamination.
