WALNUT SHELL BLASTING MEDIA
Natural Cleaning and Polishing for Delicate Surfaces.
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
- Angular particle shape
- Lightweight, low-density media
- Biodegradable and environmentally friendly
- Non-metallic abrasive
- Gentle cleaning action with minimal substrate damage
- Naturally friable for easy breakdown after use
Walnut Shell Blast Media is a lightweight, biodegradable abrasive derived from crushed walnut shells. Known for its gentle cleaning action, it is commonly used for polishing, cleaning, stripping, and surface preparation on materials that could be damaged by more aggressive abrasives.
Its angular particle shape provides effective cleaning while preserving the integrity of softer substrates such as aluminum, composites, fiberglass, plastics, wood, and other sensitive materials. Because walnut shell media is naturally friable, any residual media left behind typically breaks down easily, reducing the risk of damage to equipment or components.
Walnut shell media is also a popular choice for applications requiring environmentally friendly cleaning methods and is often used in industries where contamination concerns are critical, including food processing, restoration, and precision manufacturing.
