Steel Shots and Steel Grits
We have developed products for very general shot blasting applications in foundries, forging, fabrication, investment castings, aluminum die castings and more. If we use any abrasive in isolation, it is bound to have its limitation; therefore we offer a premix of 2-3 abrasives depending on its application.
