Product Overview
The zinc shot balls are made of 0# distilled electrode position zinc with state-of-the-art technology. Grain sizes range from 0.3 mm to 5.0 mm with hardness of 45-60 HV and 80-100 HV.
Density is close to iron with low hardness, so the media does not wear the surface of metal workpieces. The flash point of zinc powder is low, which gives higher security than alumina shot, and the whitening effect on the workpiece surface is obvious.
Key Benefits
- Operation of security
- Strong effect on deburring and deflashing
- Gloss surface of work piece
- Reasonable price
- Density close to iron with low hardness, so it deburrs without wearing the metal surface
- Obvious whitening effect on the workpiece surface
- In electro galvanizing it lowers the electrode potential and polarization current and enhances corrosion resistance
Application Scenarios
Where it is used
- Die casting deburring and deflashing
- Advanced electro galvanizing
- Metal smelting additive
Who it is for
- Zinc and aluminium die casters removing burrs, flash and fusion marks
- Galvanizing lines using zinc media in advanced electro galvanizing
- Metal smelters using zinc shot as an additive
Problems it solves
- Harder media wears down the surface of soft castings while removing the burr
- Aluminium oxide media carries a higher flash point risk than zinc powder
- Deflashing by hand is slow and inconsistent across a batch

Use Guide
- Check the substrate first. Ferrous media on non-ferrous parts leaves iron that rusts. This is a non-ferrous safe range.
- Match the grain size to the feature. Smaller grains give more impacts per kilogram and a finer finish. Larger grains carry more energy per impact.
- Match the shape to the job. As-cut cuts harder and reaches corners. Conditioned is used for peening and for a matte finish.
- Run a trial batch. Minimum order is on request, which is low enough to prove the media on your own parts before volume.
- Store dry. Keep bags on the pallet and off the floor until the media goes into the machine.
