Our Most Popular Media

With custom engineering over 50 different types of media, each one is carefully stored and shipped in either a 3 ½ gallon or 5-gallon container depending on your order. Our most popular options include:

  • NM-1000-.33 is for small hole polishing/sizing in holes ranging from .005 to .020. Typical applications are diesel spray nozzles and fuel rails.
  • LV-150-1.5 is one of our most widely used abrasive media. It consists of a 150-grit, low viscosity silicon carbide abrasive, at a ratio of 1.5# to 1# of the total chemistry. Typical applications are aluminum and vinyl extrusion dies for EDM “recast” removal with profile openings of around .020.
  • HV-54-2 is another popular choice. HV-54-2 has a very high viscosity and is stiff enough for large holes and castings, with a 54-grit abrasive of 2 to 1 to improve the finish in castings and large interior dimensions.
  • STM-1200-3 is a gel-like abrasive flow media for diesel spray nozzles, described as a shear thinning media.
  • DIAMOND ABRASIVE FLOW MEDIA is used for polishing of hard-to-machine carbide dies.
