HERO ABRASIVE

HERO Abrasive line was developed specifically for use in abrasive ground conditions and features a
special matrix consisting of alloys and diamonds that are very resistant to abrasive conditions. Performance
is optimized when used with an appropriate drilling additive mix. All matrices in this line come in 13 mm
standard diamond height and are also available in 16 mm and 26 mm Vulcan configuration.

• Redesigned components offer increased resistance to abrasion

• Great penetration and lifespan
• Individually reinforced segments help preserve internal and
external diameters
• Wider waterways allow rock cuttings to be flush out easily
