RP Abrasives is a metal finisher specializing in the bead blasting, deburring, finishing, passivating, buffing and polishing as well as tumbling of difficult parts. We operate in a job shop environment and combine many methods of deburring technology such as tumbling, blasting, deburring, polishing, and passivating under one roof. By combining several processes, we can often finish or complete parts with higher quality, lower cost and faster turn around times than our customers can do themselves. For example, sometimes parts will require tumbling before bead blasting or they may require finishing by hand deburring or batch deburring (sometimes called mass finishing) followed by polishing and buffing and then passivation. At other times, parts frequently need tumbling, then passivating or sand blasting combined with other operations. In still other cases components will require tumbling is several different medias to achieve a desired finish.
We work with many types of material such as metal (from aluminum to brass to copper to steel to titanium to zirconium) and plastics plus composites. One type of plastic that frequently get bead blasted is ultem.
