Media Blasting:
Media Blasting is the most effective way to remove materials such as graffiti, corrosion restoration & paint stripping. The process is a powered blast gun that uses pressurized air with a 185 air compressor.
Walnut Shell Media:
Walnut shell is an all-natural & eco-friendly abrasive. The combination of light weight, angular design & relative softness makes walnut shell blast media an excellent choice for the deburring, cleaning, deflashing or stripping of softer substrates such as plastics, wood, fiberglass, aluminum & various composite materials.
Features:
- Specific gravity of 1.2-1.4 & a hardness of 3.5 MOH.
- Performs well in a variety of pH & temperature conditions & is resistant to fermentation.
- It is reclaimable.
- Great for old-stained decks, tired-looking log cabins & barnacle infested boat hulls.
- Safety & Environment:
- Organic material that is not subject to TSCA requirements.
- Biodegradable & odorless.
- Always comply with Federal, State & Local regulations.
- Walnut shell is listed on the EPA’s Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines for Blasting Grit.
Recycled Glass Media:
Consumer-recycled glass media is recycled & sized to meet specific blasting needs.It is made up of sharp angular particles, yet it is safe for handling & loading. It does not feel like glass, it feels like salt for the #30 course & talcum powder for #100 extra fine. It is excellent for removing a wide variety of coatings. It is especially well suited for removing epoxy, alkyds, vinyl, polyurea & coal tar.
Features:
- Angular particles allow for aggressive profiling & removal of coatings.
- Similar hardness to many slags, 6.0 on Mohs scale.
- Less media required to achieve better results, 30-50% less than slags or mineral abrasives.
- Very low particle embedment (less than 2%) which produces whiter finish(SP-10) finish.
- Superior rust-back performance vs slag/mineral abrasives.
- Can clean aluminum, brass, copper & stainless steel without warping, excessive profiling, or surface damage.
Safety & Environment:
- No detectable CRYSTALLINE SILICA.
- Chemically non-toxic & inert. Can be used near water.
- No detectable heavy or toxic metals such as arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, etc. which are commonly found in coal-slag & many mineral abrasives such as garnet & staurolite.
- Glass is listed on the EPA’s Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines for Blasting Grit.
- 100% recycled material compliance with federal & state affirmative procurement guidelines.
