All-Around Solution
This solution is designed to keep you ahead of the maintenance plan and reduce time spent on demanding risk assessments and all costs related to shutdowns, fireguards, hot work permits, habitats, and demanding cleanup work. The all-around solution contains everything you need for mechanical pre-treatment. The solution includes all our air tools, rotating grinding files, and paint removal discs, except for the rough boy grinding file.
The air tools, grinding files, and grinding disc are Ex-certified as safe to use in ATEX gas zones 1 and 2↵.

*Lifetime depends on material type and coating/paint.
Health, Safety & the Environment
Our grinding products are designed to comply with Health Safety & the Environment (HSE & OSHA) requirements, offering low vibration, low heat, and low noise levels. The fragments produced are large, blunt, and will stay within a few centimeters/inches of your work area. This makes cleaning up simple and safe.
Long-lasting
Safety Tools Allmet rotating grinding burrs and discs have a long lifespan and consist of solid tungsten carbide, which gives our burrs and discs a material property harder than an industrial diamond. The lifespan of the rotating grinding burrs and discs depends on the application, but generally, they last hundreds of times longer than conventional alternatives.
What are the benefits?
- No need for Hot Work Permit
- Reduce time spent on risk evaluation
- Avoids postponements
- No need for habitats
- No need for fireguards
- Avoids production stop/delays
The tool heads consist of solid tungsten carbide (Wolfram Carbide), giving it remarkable hardness. The “teeth” on the tool heads have undergone a unique process which removes material upon every contact. The rotational speed (only 1000-3000 rpm) is slower than that of traditional tools. The couplings used are designated only to match with Safety Tools machinery; this prevents use at higher rotations on non-Ex tools.
All the above-mentioned qualities have been thoroughly tested by;
Det Norske Veritas – For use in hazardous zones 1 and 2
Gexcon – Explosions tests
ATR – Vibration tests
Mutliconsult – Noise tests
Jotun and DNV – Adhesion tests for coatings
Rigorously tested in the field – under the most demanding conditions!

Cold Solutions - ATEX Certified
Health, Safety & the Environment
Products comply with Health Safety & the Environment (HSE & OSHA) requirements, offering low vibration, heat, and noise levels. The fragments are large and blunt and will stay within a few centimetres/inches of your work area, thus making cleaning up simple and safe.
Certified and classified by Gexcon Certification
All solutions from Safety Tools Allmet are ATEX Certified as safe to use in ATEX Gas zones 1 & 2. Our cutting tools are also certified for use in ATEX dust zones 21 & 22. No need for a hot work permit, habitats, fire guards, shutdowns and nitrogen flushing/flushing.
Tungsten Carbide
Our rotating files and discs consist of solid tungsten carbide. The hardness and design of the teeth significantly increase the lifetime of the grinding files and discs. You can expect a lifetime of 100 times more than conventional burrs.
Spot Repair
Ex-certified cold work tools from Safety Tools Allmet provide a good, clean surface with a profile that meets the requirements of the SSPC-SP11 Surface Preparation Standard.
Surface profile
The solid tungsten head for Safety Tools cold rotating grinding files has different designs on its teeth so that they can produce different surface profiles for every situation. Our burrs create a roughness profile of between 40 – 75 microns.
Adhesion and Cleanliness
The correct surface profile creates a suitable anchor for paint and coatings. ATEX grinding tools from Safety Tools Allmet create good adhesion and a clean surface. Extensively independently tested for surface adhesion by International Paint, Jotun, Chevron and Weatherford.
NO Isocyanates - LOW Sound levels - LOW Vibration
NO release of isocyanates when grinding or cutting through polyurethane.
Low sound level. (<85 dB)
Low vibration. (Average <2.5 m/s)
