Chrome Slag

Chrome Slag is a by-product generated during the smelting of chromite ore in the production of ferrochrome, an essential alloying element in stainless steel. This hard, dense material consists primarily of silicates, aluminates, and residual chromium compounds, making it suitable for a variety of industrial and construction applications.

Chrome Slag is available in different grades and particle sizes depending on the application requirements. It offers an eco-friendly alternative to natural aggregates, promoting sustainable reuse of industrial by-products.

Steel Grit

Steel grit is a tough, angular blasting media made from crushed steel shot, designed for rapid cleaning, descaling, and surface profiling. Its sharp edges cut through rust, scale, old coatings, and contaminants with maximum efficiency, making it ideal for applications requiring aggressive abrasion and a textured finish for coating adhesion. Available in various hardness levels, steel grit is widely used in shipyards, structural steel, foundries, and fabrication plants. It offers excellent recyclability, delivering consistent results over many cycles while maintaining performance and reducing operational costs.

White & Brown Aluminium

Aluminium Oxide is one of the most widely used and trusted abrasive materials in the surface preparation industry. Available in both White and Brown variants, it offers a powerful combination of cutting strength, reusability, and consistency, making it suitable for a wide range of blasting and finishing applications.

Brown Aluminium Oxide is a tough, durable media ideal for aggressive blasting, such as removing rust, paint, scale, and heavy coatings from steel and other hard surfaces. White Aluminium Oxide, on the other hand, is a high-purity, friable abrasive designed for precision work. It is ideal for delicate substrates like stainless steel, aluminium, glass, or ceramics.

Glass Grit

Glass grit is a sharp, angular blasting media made from recycled glass, offering an effective and environmentally friendly solution for surface preparation. Ideal for removing coatings, rust, scale, and paint, its angular shape delivers an aggressive cutting action while producing a relatively low dust profile compared to other abrasives. Glass grit is perfect for use on steel, aluminium, concrete, and wood, providing a consistent, uniform profile that’s ideal for coating adhesion. It is non-toxic, non-crystalline silica, and safe for use in a variety of industrial and commercial blasting applications.

Glass Beads

Glass bead blasting is the go-to choice for achieving a smooth, satin or matte finish without damaging the underlying material. Made from spherical glass particles, this non-metallic media is ideal for cleaning, peening, and finishing a wide range of surfaces, including stainless steel, aluminium, and other non-ferrous metals. Unlike harsh abrasives, glass beads provide a gentle yet effective cleaning action, making them perfect for delicate components, aerospace parts, automotive restoration, and decorative finishes. They are also reusable and produce minimal dust, offering a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution.

Steel Shot

Steel shot is a spherical blasting media made from high-carbon steel, designed for powerful surface cleaning, descaling, and shot peening. Its round shape allows for even impact distribution, making it ideal for producing smooth, polished surfaces and strengthening metal components through controlled stress relief. Used widely in industries such as automotive, construction, and foundry work, steel shot is highly durable and can be recycled hundreds of times, offering an efficient and cost-effective solution for heavy-duty applications. It’s perfect for preparing surfaces before coating or painting, or for peening to extend the fatigue life of metal parts.

Crushed Nutshells Blast Media

Traditional abrasive media like steel shot and aluminium oxide can be too harsh for delicate surfaces. Crushed nutshells offer a lightweight, angular alternative — ideal for dry air blasting where surface preservation is key. Crushed nutshell media effectively removes topcoats while protecting undercoatings, eliminating the need for costly, full surface stripping. It’s a faster, safer solution for sensitive metal finishing projects. As well as environmentally friendly.

Plastic Blast Media

Choosing the right blasting media is critical for protecting sensitive surfaces. Plastic blast media offers a less aggressive alternative, making it ideal for softer substrates. Commonly used for deflashing plastic parts, mould cleaning, and removing anti-corrosion coatings, hydrocarbons, waxes, adhesives, and sealants, plastic media provides excellent results without damaging the underlying material. It’s highly durable, free of silica, leaves no residual deposits, and delivers a cost-effective, efficient solution for a range of industrial applications.

Deburring Stones

A deburring stone is an abrasive tool used to remove burrs — the small, sharp edges or protrusions left on metal parts after manufacturing processes like cutting, grinding, or machining. By smoothing these rough edges, deburring stones enhance safety, improve the finish and functionality of the part, and ensure better performance in assembly or further processing. Whether in workshops or industrial settings, they’re a trusted solution for achieving clean, polished results with precision and ease.
