 3M™ Boron Carbide Blasting Nozzles for best
performance

As the world’s leading producer of advanced ceramics, ESK Ceramics, a 3M company, has been manufacturing boron
carbide blasting nozzles for six decades. Ongoing research and market analysis have enabled us to systematically
expand our range of blasting nozzles and offer technologically sophisticated products of the highest quality.
3M™ Blasting Nozzles are used successfully throughout the world.

Boron carbide is one of the hardest engineering materials available. Used correctly, 3M™ Blasting Nozzles guarantee
minimum wear and have an exceptionally long service life even in applications using extremely hard abrasives such as
corundum and silicon carbide.

3M™ Boron Carbide Blasting Nozzles – durability that pays off
On account of its exceptionally high abrasion resistance, boron carbide boasts an unbeatable price/performance ratio. If costs per time unit
are compared, 3M™ Blasting Nozzles have a much better price/performance ratio compared to nozzles made of silicon carbide or hard metal.

Boron carbide is therefore the choice material for blasting nozzles.

The advantages of boron carbide, which has a density as low as 2.50 g/cm , are obvious: 2

• Excellent price/performance ratio thanks to very high wear resistance

• Low air consumption thanks to minimal wear
• Constant operating conditions and uniform blast performance
• Exceptionally long service life
