Abrasives

Developing solutions for cutting, grinding, sanding and all finishing and polishing of a product requires innovation, high performance and safety for users and the working environment.
Over recent decades, Veneta Mineraria has been collaborating with the global abrasives industry, designing and producing active fillers used in the manufacture of discs and grinding wheels and fine-tuning product specifications as quality requirements evolve.
Our large portfolio of sulphides, metal fluorides and micronized manganese compounds allows us to meet the most exacting requirements and cater for any need.
The products that Veneta Mineraria supplies to this sector are available in many grain sizes and provide a range of different properties: sulphides improve mechanical properties, reduce heat conduction and prevent oxidation; manganese-based compounds have lubricating, cooling and deoxidizing properties; Metal fluorides reduce friction, provide lubrication, and increase adhesion between the grains and the binder.

Veneta Mineraria produces a wide range of innovative fillers and bespoke solutions that help abrasive manufacturers meet today's environmental and technological challenges.

Special products

Colder VM 100 and Ecoclor MN are speciality products comprising halogenated compounds and manganese. Veneta Mineraria manufactures these to serve as lubricating and cooling additives for the production of high-performance grinding wheels and discs. The formulations reduce the hygroscopic properties typical of this category of compounds while keeping the melting point low and optimising interaction with the resins. Colder VM 100 and Ecoclor MN are ideal for heavy-duty industrial applications such as continuous hot grinding of steel, a process in which temperature management is paramount.

Crioflux VM is a fluorinated filler developed by Veneta Mineraria for the production of abrasive discs and grinding wheels aimed at providing our customers with a product that’s both high-performance and eco-friendly.
Crioflux VM is compatible with the most common thermosetting resins with which it has excellent interaction, lending toughness and cooling power similar to sodium cryolite. Its composition has been specifically developed to reduce the its environmental impact and deliver a high-performance product that can compete with the materials most commonly used for these applications.

Ecoframe NX is an inorganic-based speciality product with cooling and lubricating properties that improves the quality, durability and performance of resinoid abrasives and reduces their environmental impact. It acts as a structurant and binder of the abrasive mixture and promotes good mechanical resistance and ensures gradual wear. Veneta Mineraria has developed Ecoframe NX to respond to the growing market need for a product that’s free from fluorine, sulphur, chlorine, iron and other halogens, and which thus reduces the quantity of harmful substances released into the work environment.

Sulfex is a large range of pyrite-based products developed by Veneta Mineraria. They’re highly prized as additives in the production of abrasive discs and grinding stones. Our specialist Sulfex HPW line is ideal in applications where the creation of gas during the cooking process needs to be reduced. An example is "Hot Press" lines. In these applications, Sulfex HPW provides outstanding thermal stability.

The increasingly pressing need to focus on safety and the environment means many traditional products no longer meet these new requirements. Ecoflux combines the first-rate performance of fluorinated fillers with an absence of dangerous compounds that are easily released into the environment. Its formula is designed to be a non-toxic, harmless and environmentally friendly alternative to sodium cryolite whilst maintaining tool life and good lubricating/cooling capabilities. Being sulphur free, it represents a valid alternative also for specialist applications.
