Chilled Iron Grit

Blasting with chilled iron grit is ideal for removing existing coatings and burn off residue as well as providing a good key for painting. Chilled iron grit is also ideal for cleaning welds and removing sand and runners from castings as well as the etching of structural steel and components prior to coating. Chilled iron grit is available in our hand cabinets for surface treatment to SA 2.5 standards.

Glass Bead

Glass bead blasting is available in a dedicated hand cabinet and is ideal for peening, texturing or the removal of surface blemishes. Glass bead poses no risk of corrosion or magnetisation and does not alter the surface dimensions of the component being cleaned.
