Further blasting medias

Walnut blasting media can be used as an inexpensive alternative to plastic blasting media. The life time is significantly shorter. Due to the fat content in the walnut shells, the blasted surfaces may be refatted.

The corncob granulate can also be used as an alternative to plastic granulate or walnut granulate. It has a lower dust content than walnut granules.

Silicon carbide offers an alternative to corundum blasting media. It has a higher hardness, 9-10 Mohs, but is also more expensive. Besides it has a good life time.

Chilled iron blasting media as grit can be used as an alternative to stainless steel grit. It offers the cheaper alternative with a high specific weight of 7.8 g/kcm and a hardness of 56 HRC (640HV). It's not iron-free.

Steel shot can be used in applications similar to stainless steel shot. We offer it in two different degrees of hardness. 

40-52 HRC (390-535 HV) 

35-45 HRC (340-460 HV) 

Hardness in operating mixture 40-50 HRC (390-530 HV)

Steel grit is used in related applications as well as chilled iron grit or stainless steel grit. 

40 - 53 HRC (390 - 550 HV)

54 - 60 HRC (570 - 720 HV) Hardness 

>61 HRC (>740 HV)

Wire shot is often used for cleaning of die cast parts. It can be used in cylindrical shape or as rounded shape with different degree of rounding, G1-G3. It has an extremely long life time.

Glass granulat blasting media is a cheap and iron-free alternative to other angular blasting media, such as corundum or silicon carbide. The life time is shorter, the dust content higher.

Garnet sand is the only sand approved for the blasting process, as the quartz content is low and thus there is no risk of silicosis disease for the user when in use. Garnet sand is widely used for the waterjet cutting process.

Slag blasting media is an inexpensive  abrasive. Often used for outside blasting or as filler material for road pavements.
