Abrasive media shots are small, hard particles used in shot blasting and shot peening processes to clean, strengthen, or polish surfaces. They are available in various materials, shapes, and sizes, each designed for specific applications.
Glass beads are round, spherical particles used as a gentle abrasive in various blasting applications. Their smooth surface helps to achieve a fine finish without damaging the underlying material. This media is particularly effective for removing light contaminants while providing a bright, polished surface. Glass beads are also environmentally friendly and produce minimal dust during the blasting process, making them ideal for cleanroom environments and delicate parts.
Information: Plastic media blasting utilizes thermoset plastic particles that are ideal for removing paint and coatings from soft metals or composites without damaging them, maintaining surface precision.
Used: Extensively used in the aerospace and automotive sectors, where lightweight and sensitive parts require gentle coating removal without surface damage.
Information: Copper slag, a byproduct of copper refining, is a robust abrasive known for aggressive cleaning capabilities. It effectively removes heavy coatings, rust, and contaminants.
Used: Frequently applied in shipyards, oil refineries, and construction projects for pre-coating surface preparation, particularly in environments requiring heavy-duty blasting.
Information: Crushed glass media is an eco-friendly, recycled abrasive perfect for moderate to aggressive surface cleaning. It efficiently removes rust, paint, and debris, leaving a clean finish.
Used: Frequently used in graffiti removal, automotive restoration, and metal cleaning, particularly in projects requiring an environmentally conscious approach.
