In practice, a powder-form mixture of different mineral components has proven to be the additive which can be most simply combined with the operating mix. The additive is comprised of microscopically tiny thin platelets, which position themselves on the oil wetting of metal surfaces. Following the blending of the added substance with the shooting shot inside 15 – 30 minutes by ordinary course it is quickly prepared for use. Because of the nearly exceptionally high power of bond, oils and oils are promptly for all intents and purposes torn away from the metal surfaces and bound to the surfaces of the added substance particles.

As a result of the blasting effect, the additive particles, with oil and grease adhering to them, are taken out from the surface of the blasted work piece. The ideal surface-to-weight proportion at that point empowers the specific vehicle via wind current of the upsetting substances out of the framework.
To some extent, they are quickly eliminated by the dust extraction from the blasting process. However, at the latest the additive particles are practically completely removed from the blasting process with the contaminants in the air separator. In the follow-on filter system the now no longer sticky dust particles are then separated and then can be disposed with the normal filter dust.
With the utilization of the additive ULTIMATE, blasted work pieces are basically oil free and, for instance, can be added straightforwardly to the covering. Cost-concentrated cleaning measures don’t matter any longer.
The additive is insoluble and latent and moreover neither combustible nor burnable. The previous risk of dust fires and dust explosions in the entire blasting system is accordingly decreased.

Areas of application

The described additive process is utilized ordinarily in the applications:

• anticorrosive coatings with wet and powder coating
• metallized coatings such as zinc flake coating
• shot peening for cold work
• Blast cleaning for finish after casting, heat treatment or shaping

Example applications are found in the production of components for:

• automotive and rail vehicle construction
• agricultural machinery and construction machines
• mechanical engineering and plant engineering
• construction elements for the automobile industry
• welded parts, screws and stamped bent parts
• metal foundry pressure die casting, light alloy, red brass, steel and iron
• hardening and forging

A clear improvement and stabilization of the blasting process can be accomplished for each situation by the utilization of the additive. With PantaTec you can get rid of your grease.

With PantaTec treatment, parts, sheets or welded assemblies can be painted directly after blasting
