Bremor abrasive materials

The abrasives are classified in following categories :

Metallic abrasives

  • Steel

In general : For better efficiency we recommend that sharp cornered steel is used in BREMOR machines.

BR 824, BR 834, BR 855 et BR 870/890 Mild and non-tempered steel
Cleaning and roughmaking of surfaces
Preparation before galvanising.
BR 195 et BR 196 Same application as above, but for finer surfaces.

It is also possible to use the above abrasives for treatment of non-iron alloys, however it is essential to treat the sandblasted part immediately (by galvanising or painting) in order to prevent corrosion.


Spherical steel abrasives :Hardly used, except for shotpeening.

  • Stainless steel
BR 200 Treatment of stainless steel parts, such as watchcases, white gold.
BR 202 Jewellery for decoration, satining.
BR 210 Treatment of stainless steel parts, decoration.



  • Copper alloys
BR 100 N 77 Bronze powder. Watch and clock industry, jewellery.
BR 101 Fine deburring. To matt golden brass or bronze parts. Satining
BR 130 Copper powder - hardly used
BR 150 V Strongly recommended for watch and clock industry. Used on brass parts and for satining.



  • Aluminium - Strahlmittel
BR 480 Fine treatment of meterhands of mild aluminium.
BR 481 To clean and matt aluminium parts in general.

Ceramic abrasives

  • Normal or brown Corundum
BR 2050, BR 2100, BR 2150, BR 2220 Used to decalamine tempered parts
to matt glass parts, and on aluminium parts.
Preparation for galvanising.

Caution : Do not use these abrasives, if after sandblasting, the parts have to be drilled, turned or cut, because of the danger of dust incrustations.



  • Noble or white Corundum
BR 3030, BR 3120, BR 3180, BR 3220 Surfaces on which no traces of iron are allowed.
Tantalum wires for condensors etc.
Other applications as under a) above.



  • Glass powder
BR 550, BR 600, BR 650, BR 720 VG Treatment of aluminium for decoration
Sandblasting of wooden parts.
To matt various parts. Preparation for galvanising.



  • Glass beads
BR 452, BR 453, BR 454, BR 455, BR 456 Decoration on gold and silver parts.
Hardening of surfaces. Satining.
Special applications.

Vegetal Abrasives

BR 300, BR 301 Cleaning of plastic parts, deburring of pressed plastic parts.
Use in electronical industry.
BR 400 Same as above (Rice shell).

Plastic abrasives

BR 410, BR 411, BR 412, BR 425 Treatment and deburring of plastic materials.




The working-pressure and sandblasting time necessary for the treatment of parts are to be determined through tests..

We are at your entire disposal for any further information that you may need.


ATTENTION: Do not use glass sand (SiO3) because of silicosis danger (prohibited by SUVA).
