Steel Grit
Angular media for aggressive cleaning
Abrasive material used for cleaning, surface preparation and shot peening where an etched profile is required.
Overview
About This Media
Steel grit is an angular abrasive material used for cleaning, surface preparation and shot peening. Its sharp edges cut fast and leave an etched anchor profile — ideal before painting, coating or metallizing.
Manufactured from crushed steel shot and tempered to the required hardness, our steel grit holds its shape over long cycles and keeps dust generation low.
Applications
- Blast cleaning of steel structures
- Rust & scale removal
- Anchor profiling before coating
- Foundry & forge cleaning
