SYNTHETIC TUMBLING MEDIA HOW ITS REALLY MADE
Synthetic tumbling media is designed for long
wear when you are using it to deburr metals like
aluminum and brass. Compared to other tumbling
media, it is lighter weight and ideal for soft
metals and smooth finishes. Synthetic tumbling
media has 20-45 percent lower bulk density than
polyester and ceramic media, providing greater
volume per pound and yielding lower working
costs. Using synthetic media leads to fine
finishes, which is ideal for aerospace, medical,
and dental industries. But how is synthetic
tumbling made? Water-Based Most synthetic
tumbling media is water-based, making it the most
cost-effective and easily treated material for

of unwanted things in water treatment systems.
They also settle solid quickly and make
closed-loop waste water systems more practical
and cost-efficient by saving water. Plastic
Bonding Abrasives Synthetic deburring media are
made with plastic bonding, which means these
tumbling media are made from a blend of abrasives
that are bonded together with plastic. The
abrasives are a complex blend of abrasives that
are put together in a stock of mixed abrasives.
The abrasives can vary from relatively soft
materials like the polishing agents used in
jewelry cleaners to abrasives as hard as
diamonds. Although surely no manufacturer uses
diamonds to make synthetic tumbling media,
everything in between can be used to create
deburring materials. Benefits of Synthetic
Tumbling Media Some benefits of synthetics are
that it can provide a smooth surface finish that
is ideal for soft metals, a small amount of
residue, minimal chipping, and can polish and
moderately cut. These media have light bulk
density and come in a wide variety of shapes and
sizes. They also provide moderate cycle times.

Tumbling Uses Synthetic tumbling media can
deburr brass and aluminum, polish metals and
plastics, round the edges of plastics, eliminate
machining lines, and form a light radius. In
addition, synthetics can create pre-plate
finishes, finish discs, and provide high energy
finishing. Synthetic tumbling media are just what
you need for performing these tasks on soft
materials. To find the right abrasive suited for
