Grit-O’Cobs<\/p>\n
A cleaner, safer, more versatile alternative to sandblasting.<\/strong><\/p>\n Grit-O’Cobs is a soft grit abrasive that blast-cleans metal, wood, fiberglass, plastic, masonry, electrical insulators and other materials.<\/p>\n Grit-O’Cobs granules are increasingly the choice when the job calls for a softer, less dusty and environmentally safe abrasive. While sand remains the most widely used abrasive successful abrasive cleaning still depends heavily upon the selection of the proper abrasive for each job.<\/p>\n The growing acceptance of Grit-O’Cobs granules stems from many beneficial characteristics. THey are hard, yet soft. They are cleaner and less dusty than many other abrasives. They are biodegradable – an increasingly important consideration. In addition, Grit-O’Cobs granules can also be used in most standard sandblasting equipment. They are non-sparking and will not damage the gears of operating equipment as sand often does.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div> <\/p><\/div> There is no need to mask windows when cleaning with Grit-O’Cobs. Loose and flaking paint can be quickly removed from painted wood, brick, masonry and metal structures.<\/p>\n Grit-O’Cob is also ideal for interior jobs since there is little dust – making it a preferred media for interior jobs.<\/p>\n Because of its biodegradability, Grit-O’Cobs is ideal for getting fiberglass, wooden and aluminum boats in ship-shape, as it can be acceptably used on beaches or in dry docks. Similarly –\u00a0Grit-O’Cobs blast clean electrical substation insulators and electric motors. \u00a0Electircal substation insulators provide an ideal cleaning challenge for Grit-O’Cobs granules as it is biodegradable and non-toxic – there is no need for cleanup after blasting.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Applications and Application Equipment<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Large-scale uses include the cleaning of buildings, bridges, boat hulls ( including fiberlglass ), mining equipment, earth-moving machinery and electric substations. Aircraft maintenance is another use of this versatile medium. Grit-O’Cobs is ideal for many types of metal finishing. Metal stampings, molded plastics, and die castings lend themselves to deburring, deflashing, burnishing and polishing in Grit-O’Cobs.<\/p>\n \u2022 When used on electric motors, Grit-O’Cobs removes moisture, grease, oil, carbon, copper dust, sand and grit There is no need to mask windows when cleaning with Grit-O’Cobs. Loose and flaking paint can be quickly removed from painted wood, brick, masonry and metal structures. Grit-O’Cob is also ideal for interior jobs since there is little dust – making it a preferred media for interior jobs.
