Description
xCell Lab CB Ceramic Shots for Blast Cleaning & Microblasting [1 kg]
Superior Surface Finish, Low Contamination & Extended Media Lifespan
The Cell Lab CB Ceramic Shots are premium blasting media engineered for blast cleaning, microblasting, and surface preparation of precision components. Made from zirconia-based composition with high durability and chemical inertness, CB shots deliver clean, consistent finishes with reduced dust, contamination, and media consumption—ideal for molds, castings, delicate parts, and cosmetic refinements using air or wet pressure and wheel turbine machines.
Key Features
-
High durability & toughness – Strong mechanical resistance ensures long service life, especially under repetitive blast cycles.
-
Consistent bead quality & sphericity – Uniform size distribution and smooth spherical shape for even cleaning and microblasting outcomes.
-
Reduced operating pressure & velocity requirements – Less abrasive blast velocity needed compared to glass media, lowering energy costs and equipment wear.
-
Low dust generation & chemical inertness – Produces cleaner work environments, prevents metallic contamination, suited for sensitive surfaces.
-
Enhanced finish & minimal surface roughness – Fine CB sizes refine surfaces, eliminating burrs, etching, and paint, achieving cosmetically pleasing results.

FAQ
Q1: How does ceramic CB media compare to glass bead blasting media?
A: CB ceramic shots offer significantly reduced media consumption (30-40× less in some cases), lower dust, less surface roughening, and longer lifespan vs glass beads.
Q2: Which media sizes should I use for specific surface finishes or parts?
A: Use ultra-fine sizes when finish smoothness and minimal surface impact are critical (e.g., cosmetic parts, fine etching). Larger sizes are better for heavier paint removal, deburring, or coarse surface cleaning.
Q3: What are the benefits of ceramic shots in terms of dust and contamination?
A: Ceramic shots are chemically inert and produce low dust; unlike metal or angular grit, CB media reduce embedded contaminants and maintenance of environment & equipment.
Q4: Can I use CB media with both wet blasting and air-blast / wheel turbine machines?
A: Yes — CB ceramic shots are compatible with air and wet pressure blasting, and wheel turbine machines. They maintain bead integrity under wet conditions and still deliver good cleaning and finish.
Q5: What are typical keywords / search terms people use when looking for this type of blasting media?
A: Terms like “ceramic bead blasting media”, “microblasting ceramic shots”, “blast cleaning media zirconia”, “low dust ceramic shot”, “fine finishing beads”, “surface preparation ceramic beads”, “CB ceramic shots sizes”, “blast cleaning vs glass beads”, etc.
