Hard-wearing: Our in-house developed and produced ceramic grain. The world of abrasives is always on the lookout for the best abrasive grain for specific applications. And when it comes to high stock removal, ceramic abrasive grains are clearly the first choice. This is because ceramic abrasive grains are particularly hard and tough.

What does this mean specifically? For example, during grinding, each individual grain is subjected to cutting forces that act like hammer blows. When machining hard metals such as titanium, the abrasive grain needs to withstand extreme loads over prolonged periods.

Another important aspect is the so-called self-sharpening effect. Our ceramic grain is produced in such a way that, thanks to its microcrystalline structure, it breaks down into very fine particles during grinding and thus always exposes new, sharp cutting edges. This guarantees consistently high stock removal – with maximum efficiency in the grinding process.

VSM ceramic grain has performed in this way for two decades now. Back in 2004, we started producing our own ceramic grain in Hanover, which quickly became the epitome of particularly high-performance abrasives under the name VSM CERAMICS.

Today, we are one of only a few ceramic grain manufacturers in the world. For twenty years, we have been working consistently to continue to be the ceramic grain champion. We therefore produce our ceramic grain exclusively in-house at the Hanover location with the highest quality standards. This allows us to have a crucial influence on the performance of our products – and to constantly further develop the sophisticated ceramic grain technology with our technical application expertise. For example, with VSM ACTIROX, which set new standards in 2018.
