Balancing hardness and efficiency

48 HRC Hardness – for optimal performances

With a hardness of 48 HRC, W Abrasives’ shot strike the right balance between consumption and efficiency: an amount of impact energy large enough to do the cleaning job desired, while being just soft enough to reduce the wear of the machine and media consumption.

Consistent surface finish

Formulated with a narrow hardness range, which equates for your production process a more consistent, stable and reliable cleaning results.

Reduced risk of coating failure

With our chloride and salt levels below 50 μS/cm, you are sure to reduce the possibility of surface contamination due to your abrasive, ensuring increased longevity of the coatings

SP version for High impact and Peening

Specific hardness are available for some hard to clean and peening applications. Typical targetted hardness are: 54 RHC and 58 RHC.
