OTHER METALLIC ABRASIVES

Bearing Steel Grit

High-performance abrasive made from forged bearing steel — for intensive cleaning and surface preparation.

Bearing Steel Grit is produced by crushing forged bearing steel, eliminating casting defects and providing higher hardness, superior durability and more stable particle geometry compared to traditional cast steel grit.
It maintains sharp cutting edges much longer, offers higher blasting efficiency and ensures a consistent surface profile.

  • Made from forged high-chromium bearing steel → exceptional mechanical strength.
  • No casting defects → stable particle size and shape.
  • Sharp, long-lasting edges → very high cleaning efficiency.
  • Reduced dust emission and extended media life.
  • GL/GH hardness levels for demanding industrial cleaning.

Chilled Iron Shot

High-performance abrasive for cleaning, rust removal and surface preparation.

Chilled Iron Shot is a metallic abrasive made from high-carbon white cast iron. Combining exceptional hardness with a spherical grain shape, it provides stable abrasive performance, uniform surface profiling and shorter blasting times.

  • High cleaning efficiency — rapid removal of rust, scale and old coatings.
  • High hardness (57–67 HRC) — consistent performance under intensive wear.
  • Uniform grain shape — smooth and controlled surface finish.
  • Extended service life — reduced dust and abrasive consumption.
  • Compliance with international standards: EN ISO 11124-2, DIN 8201, BS 2451.
