Chilled Iron Grit*
W Abrasives’ Cast Iron grit and shot, for aggressive air-blasting surface preparation.
Our cast iron abrasives have excellent performance in demanding air-blasting surface preparation tasks.
Product Overview
Chilled Iron (or Cast Iron) Abrasives are known for their hardness and durability, making them great for aggressive cleaning and surface preparation tasks. These abrasives are made from high-quality cast iron and undergo a chilling process to achieve their unique properties.
* Even though we continue to supply Chilled Iron Cast Steel Grit, advancements over the last 60 years have led us to recommend switching to Profilium Premium Abrasives. Profilium offers significant benefits: 15% less abrasive consumption, 20% less machine wear, improved productivity and lower Total Cost of Operation (TCO). Profilium also provides higher toughness and lower dust production, enhancing overall efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
