PLENTY of N95 MASKS IN STOCK!!
Number One Question This Month

In visiting you all the past couple of weeks I know all too well how much this latest Covid-19 virus variant; Omicron, has affected your ability to get the work done you need. It seems like we may be at the peak of this one, crossing my fingers on that one.

In light of the rapid transmission of this variant I have had a flood of questions regarding tests.

"Does Fusco have at-home Covid tests?"

The short answer is, unfortunately we do not. However, I wanted to take a moment to let you all know that unlike last year at this time, we have PLENTY of 3M N95 masks in stock. The most popular of course is 3M's 8510 which is also what we have the most of. In the interest of helping you out; here are the Fusco Item ID's which if you call ANY of our customer service reps at 800.421.1391 can help get those shipped out to you today!

Item ID: BSE8210 - 3M N95, 46457 (Ships in cases of 160pcs) - $0.92ea
Item ID: BSE8511 - 3M N95, 54343 (Ships in cases of 80pcs) - $2.19ea

Always Grateful,

NEXT LEVEL BLASTING WITH SL FUSCO and 10X ENGINEERED MATERIALS - HIGH EFFICIENCY BLASTING FOR THE WIN!

I have been out and about testing the EPIX Superoxalloy material from 10X Engineered Materials. The results have not only been spectacular, they have been mind blowing! I shot the video below of one of the tests removing several heavy layers of coating from a part...


The demonstration above is using the EPIX EP which is means "Enhanced Profile" and is a bit more aggressive than the EPIX MP (Medium Profile). What kind of finish can you expect with each? We used the EPIX EP on the bare metal tubular piece seen in the background of the video here and achieved a 2.5 mil finish in seconds. The EPIX MP is going to give you a 1-2 mil finish.

Here is the key to this whole technology. It does not depend on sharp angular media to cut and create a finish. Superoxalloy is engineered by baking oxide minerals together and flash freezing them. The result is an amorphous (non-crystalline) shape which is extremely hard. Superoxalloy does not fracture like traditional abrasives, rather it depends on energy density to clean the surface. What this means practically is that you blast with this media at 100psi and above and it will not break. It does however become MORE effective with more air pressure (speed). Pressure that would destroy granular media like garnet becomes your friend with Superoxalloy.

There are a number of benefits with a product like this but a few that really stand out is blast efficiency, as you can see in above video we were cleaning the surface of parts in the realm of 2X-3X quicker than with garnet. Also, because of the hard nature of Superoxalloy it bounces rather than imbedding into the part. Practically this means an extremely clean, "white" finish. Superoxalloy also resists flash rust extremely well because it does not embed into the part and there is no iron in it.

ASI has a great article HERE if you would like more detailed information on Superoxalloys.

10X products are CARB approved and just received Mil Spec as well.
