Hess Pumice Powders - Positive Alternative to Micro Beads

Hess Pumice Powders  -  Positive Alternative to Micro Beads

DYMCO is currently working on an "Environmental Management System" to obtain ISO14001 certification, so today I would like to talk about the environment from a different perspective.

DYMCO is a specialized manufacturer of steel belts that features high precision, flatness, and  smoothness.  In addition to it, we import and sell silica-based abrasives of the U.S. maker Hess Pumice Products Inc. as its Asian distributor.

Pumice of Hess is amorphous silica.
It is widely used as a polishing agent for glass and metal materials in Japan because it has relatively high hardness as silica type and high grinding efficiency.

But there is a change in reent years.
Hess pumice is getting attention as a micro beads substitute
as the movement of micro beads regulation has been strengthened in marine pollution and environmental protection.

Hess pumice, purely natural product, is environmentally friendly and harmless to the human bodies.
In the United States, we have a track record in the cosmetics field, mainly for face scrubs.

Hess's Pumice has a wide range of particle size line-up, about 50 types, from minimum average particle size from 3μm to 5mm.
This is realized by precise grinding and selection technology and strict quality control.

In addition, LHM, Low Heavy Mineral powders are also available.
Heavy minerals are less than 0.1%.

Samples can be provided free of charge, so please do not hesitate to contact us on Hess pumice powders.
