Steel Grit for Heavy-Duty Surface Preparation

Manufacturers crush high-quality cast steel shot to produce Steel Grit abrasive. Contractors widely use this angular metallic blasting media in heavy-duty surface preparation such as descaling, rust removal, and surface roughening. As a result, it delivers aggressive impact force. Therefore, it is ideal for cleaning ship hulls, structural steel, pipelines, and castings before coating or painting. Moreover, its sharp edges and high hardness ensure consistent performance across industries.

Key Features of Steel Grit

• Angular Shape for Aggressive Cleaning: Sharp-edged particles provide superior rust and scale removal. Therefore, blasting becomes faster and more efficient.

• High Hardness & Toughness: Offers strong impact with excellent durability for repeated blasting cycles. In addition, this ensures a long service life in industrial blasting operations.

• Long Reusability: Supports multiple recirculation cycles in closed-loop blasting systems. Moreover, this reduces overall abrasive consumption and project costs.

• Efficient Surface Profiling: Delivers consistent surface roughness that improves coating adhesion. Consequently, protective coatings last longer and resist harsh environments.

• Wide Grit Size Range: Available in G10 to G120, or customized upon request. As a result, different industries can select the size that best fits their blasting requirements.

FAQ

Q1: What is steel grit used for?
Contractors use steel grit abrasive for blasting to remove rust, scale, and old paint from steel structures, pipelines, and ship hulls. As a result, it improves surface cleanliness and extends coating life.

Q2: Can steel grit be reused?
Yes. In fact, steel grit abrasive remains highly durable and contractors recycle it many times. Therefore, it is a cost-effective choice for large blasting projects.

Q3: What surface finish does steel grit provide?
Specifically, steel grit abrasive produces an angular surface profile that improves coating adhesion. Consequently, coatings bond better and last longer in harsh conditions.
