About This Product

If you've been frustrated with ceramic media being too aggressive on coins and jewelry, or plastic media taking forever to get results, Ceramalite hits the sweet spot. It's specifically formulated for heavy and dense metal workpieces that need gentle but effective finishing.

The ceramic-plastic bond creates a unique surface texture that polishes more efficiently than either material alone. You'll get smooth, consistent results on everything from Civil War bullets to modern jewelry without the scratching risk of pure ceramic media. It's particularly effective for light deburring and small burr removal on machined parts.

Applications

• Light deburring and polishing of found treasures
• Surface smoothing on brass and aluminum artifacts
• Pre-plate and decorative finishing preparation
• Precision finishing for machined or cast metal parts
• Use in both vibratory and rotary tumbling systems
