Green Abrasives Green Technology for America IBIX ® Calcium Carbonate - CarbonArt ® Available in Two Grain Sizes - Z5 & Z6 Selected by the IBIX team in collaboration with experts in monument restoration. Laboratory and worksite testing proved it to be one of the most effective and less invasive materials for cleaning stone, brick, marble and lithotypes in general. Recommended by the US Capital for Bronze statue cleaning. Characteristics IBIX calcium is a European quality grade, now available in the USA. Every batch is analyzed and certified for homogeneous grain size and spherical morphology (important in Monument restoration), as well as the purity of the extremely white material. These characteristics along with Mohs hardness lower than 3, makes CarbonArt an excellent product for cleaning stone and delicate surfaces. IBIX Garnet a Natural Abrasive Material IBIX Garnet consists of almandite garnet grains, one of the hardest, most durable natural minerals known to man. Eco-friendly, thanks to its non-toxicity, IBIX Garnet is compliant with environmental protection standards. It makes working environments safer, healthier, cleaner and reduces dust due to it’s non friable charecteristics. Garnet is Absolutely Natural and Chemically Inert It does not contain ferrite and therefore does not oxidize which means it is used to blast Stainless Steel, Antimagnetic Steel, Aluminum, etc. It does not break on impact and contains no silicosis therefore safe for operators. Garnet cuts disposal costs, thanks to low consumption and reusability. Properties Low consumption: high stripping speed (high number of grains per unit of volume, ft/hr), increases blasting performance. Our IBIX units can strip up to 150 – 350 ft./h. Low Friability: re-utilized 5 to 10 times (according to other application types) without losing any of its outstanding stripping power. Special abrasives like Walnut shells, Glass Beads & Soda, also available upon request. The IBIX business philosophy is dedicated to saving the environment for the next generation. Working with Government Agencies across the world to promote cost saving and less invasive; equipment, material and knowledge for surface cleaning and protection. IBIX research and experience makes us the industry leader in microabrasion systems and materials for today and the future.
