PREMIUM AGATE SOURCING: Manufactured from high-purity Brazilian and Uruguayan natural agate rough stone (SiO₂). No metal contamination during milling,establishing it as the preferred media for ICP-MS and XRF trace metal analysis.
ENHANCED GRINDING EFFICIENCY: Precision-cut to Mohs 6.5-7 hardness with a bulk density of 1.68kg/L. Its high specific gravity and polished surface deliver superior pulverization and dispersion, drastically shortening prep time while ensuring uniform particle distribution.
UNIVERSAL MILL COMPATIBILITY: Standardized 8mm diameter ensures seamless integration with existing lab equipment. Mismatched media typically causes inefficiency or mechanical damage. Fully compatible with planetary, jar, attritor, and roller ball mills, supporting both dry and wet grinding protocols across diverse analytical workflows.
High Roundness, Low Wear: Low wear rate and chemically inert SiO₂ structure withstand rigorous grinding conditions. The smooth surface minimizes sample adhesion and abrasive debris, permitting multiple reuse cycles within the same project to reduce long-term consumable expenditures.
TRANSPARENT TECHNICAL DATA: Each 1KG unit contains approximately 1280 balls, critical for calculating precise jar filling ratios. Supplied as assorted natural colors (red, yellow, grey, brown) mixed per batch.
