BORIDE MANUFACTURING CAPABILITIES
BORIDE Engineered Abrasives is committed to providing the highest quality abrasive products consistently in our ISO Certified manufacturing facility. In addition to our wide range of standard products, we have Engineers on staff to develop custom formulations to meet your specific needs.
RAW MATERIALS
Only the world's best quality aluminum oxide and silicon carbide are used. Grain, bond and temporary binder materials are subject to strict quality control measures.
MIXING
Different methods are employed to thoroughly mix the components and achieve the correct granulation. Fine grit materials are mixed with a proprietary method in a separate department to avoid contamination from coarser grains.
PRESSING
Some products are pressed to the finished part geometry. In other cases, a larger intermediate block is pressed. Dimensions, density, surface characteristics and edge quality are important quality characteristics.
KILN FIRING
Different kiln cycles have been engineered for our various formulations and abrasive materials. Measurements are made on all product batches after they have been kiln fired.
FABRICATION
Polishing stones are cut from large blocks. Secondary treatments include the addition of oils, waxes, resins and sulfur. Product marking and packaging complete the manufacturing process.
COMPOSITE FABRICATION
Traditional abrasives are combined with high-strength, high-tech composite materials to create new products such as the CNB-80 and CNB-120.
PRODUCT ENGINEERING
Because we manufacture from basic raw material, we can tailor an abrasive formulation to very specific end uses. Reverse engineering can be used to match an existing abrasive product.
