Who This Range Is For

Aluminium and zinc die casters who cannot accept iron pick-up on the casting surface
Stainless steel fabricators finishing sheet, tube, vessel and structural work
Automotive and motorcycle plants blasting non-ferrous components before coating
Foundries and metallurgy machinery shops running continuous blast wheels

Carbon steel media leaves iron on non-ferrous parts, which rusts and forces an acid pickling step
Cast media with pores and cracks breaks down early and fills the separator with fines
Inconsistent grain size gives an uneven finish across a batch

Abrasion resistance is 3 to 5 times greater than cast steel shot, which reduces producing cost
No rust and no discolouration on the treated surface, so acid treatment and rust removal are not needed
Matte finish that highlights the natural metal colour
