Characteristics of PS Balls

PS Ball is a superior abrasive with the following outstanding properties:

  • Environmentally friendly and non toxic
  • Stable Spinel molecular structure formed by super cooling molten slag in steel making process
  • High strength and low abrasive rate
  • High density and very low friability
  • Very safe composition
  • High compressive strength and hardness
  • Durable , can be collected and reused
  • Harder than copper and sand
  • High coefficient of friction and resistant to slippage
  • It has been proven to have higher efficiency than river sand for pollution removal
  • Under normal conditions, it generates fewer dust exhaust than copper slag and garnet
Applications

Know how the product can be used

  • PS ball is completely dust-free, therefore it can be used for surface preparation, rust removal, and ship building applications, unlike mineral abrasives like garnet. It is frequently employed in ship maintenance as well.
  • PS Balls find applications in oil storage tanks, bridge construction work, in construction of heavy steel structures, in oil rig platforms, and so on; mainly for purposes of cleaning and surface preparation and are used for cleaning welded areas in storage tanks before repainting.
  • It can be used as an abrasive material, to clean material surfaces and prepare them for painting.
  • The typical characteristics make PS balls perfect for use in blast cleaning applications, as they provide the right atomizing of materials with respect to size, density, hardness and durability.
  • Due to its high bulk specific gravity of 2.42 Kg/l, precious slag balls are widely used as a counter balance in many applications.
  • PS ball is also used as a filtration medium as it is non-water absorbent and is very durable.
  • Because of its nonslip properties, PS Balls can be used as covering on the road or as paving for concrete and asphalt roads. It adheres effectively with asphalt or concrete, and can therefore be used as efficient repair or reinforcement material for various purposes.

FAQ

Your curiosity meets our expertise - Fire away with your questions

Olivine Sand is a natural industrial mineral used for sandblasting, surface preparation, foundry and metal casting, metal fabrication, polishing, and other heavy industrial applications.

Olivine Sand is widely used for sandblasting because it is low dust, silica-free, durable, and reusable. Its high density enables faster surface cleaning and safer blasting operations.

Yes, Olivine Sand is free from free silica, making it a safer alternative to traditional abrasives and reducing health risks associated with silica exposure.

Olivine Sand is a low-dust blasting abrasive. It generates significantly less dust than conventional media, improving visibility and worker safety.

Yes, Olivine Sand is commonly used in foundries and metal casting due to its thermal stability, low thermal expansion, and consistent grain structure, which helps reduce casting defects.

Olivine Sand is used in shipbuilding, oil and gas, foundry, metal fabrication, construction, manufacturing, and surface preparation industries worldwide.

Yes, we supply bulk Olivine Sand in jumbo bags and customised packaging to meet large-scale domestic and international industrial requirements.

Yes, Olivine Sand samples are available for testing and evaluation before placing bulk or long-term supply orders.

We are glad to provide the sample for test before the order. But please send us your requirements about the product.

While our Garnet is single washed, for it to be maximum dust-free, we recommend triple washing, which incurs additional costs.

Absolutely, we prioritize the quality of our products and make no compromises about it. 

Yes, we do.

Our Garnet is sourced from beaches.
