Chilled iron Grit
Angular chilled iron grit is particularly suitable for treating metallic surfaces in pressure blasting systems. Due to its hardness and high carbon content, chilled cast iron repeatedly breaks into sharp-edged particles. This leads to high abrasive performance with short blasting times.
Areas of application
- Reusable abrasive
- Rust removal
- Paint stripping
- Rough blasting
- Surface preparation prior to coating
Blasting systems
- Pressure blast systems
- Wheel blasting systems (wear protection recommended)

*depending on granular size
For safety reasons, we recommend that you use a protective strainer when filling the blasting equipment.
