Walnut Shell Abrasives were originally developed and are still used for cleaning gasoline and diesel engines. It’s toughness and lack of silicon or other grit allows it to clean metals, alloys and plastics without scratching or pitting the surface. Walnut Shell Abrasives re carefully manufactured to eliminate any possible metals or mineral contamination which could damage fine finishes.<\/p>\n

Blast cleaning with Walnut Shell Abrasives quickly caught on as a way to eliminate hand scraping, brushing or grinding, and the use of hazardous solvents and high temperature chemical baths. Walnut Shell Abrasives will remove paint, lacquer, rust, scale, carbon and chemical deposits.<\/p>\n

Applications<\/p>\n
