Walnut Shell Abrasive – Eco-Friendly and Safe Alternative for Blasting In 2026, health & safety regulations and environmental standards are becoming increasingly strict across the EU and beyond. Therefore, more companies in Poland and Europe are turning to walnut shell abrasive (also known as walnut shell blasting media). Moreover, this 100% natural material combines gentleness, […]
Proper surface preparation of metals for painting is a crucial stage that determines coating adhesion, aesthetics, and long-term corrosion protection. Neglecting this step leads to paint peeling, uneven coverage, or accelerated damage of the construction. Factors affecting paint adhesion to metal Corrosion – metal rusting reduces adhesion of protective coatings. Contamination – oils, greases, and […]
What are Non-Metallic Abrasives? Non-metallic abrasives are a group of specialized abrasive materials that – unlike metallic abrasives – do not contain any metallic components. As a result, they are lighter, completely resistant to corrosion, and gentler on the treated surface. Importantly, their structure and properties allow for effective removal of contaminants, coatings, or deposits […]
The Importance of Safety During Shot Blasting Shot blasting is one of the most critical processes in preparing steel surfaces, commonly used in construction, automotive, and powder coating industries. However, despite its effectiveness, the process poses numerous health and environmental hazards. Therefore, safety during shot blasting becomes a key element not only from a legal […]
What Is a Shot Blasting Chamber? Shot blasting chamber is a key element in the surface preparation process in the metal industry. Its design and operation directly impact the cleaning efficiency, the quality of the final paint coating, and the overall operating costs of the equipment. Therefore, understanding its structure and operating principles is crucial […]
Steel shot corrosion prevention is crucial for maintaining the quality and durability of abrasive materials used in industrial processes. Steel shot rusts due to exposure to moisture, oxygen, and contaminants, which accelerate corrosion. Effective shot protection against rust is crucial for preserving its properties and durability in industrial applications. According to GalvanizeIt – Corrosion Rate […]
What is sandblasting and why was it popular? Steel shot blasting is an effective and safe alternative to sandblasting with silica sand. For years, sand was a cheap and common abrasive, but due to serious health and environmental risks, it is now banned in many countries, including Poland. This article explains why steel shot is […]
