Sand blasting machines have been a popular method of removing coatings for metals and other surfaces for decades, used in automotive marine and aircraft industries for a few examples. Unfortunately, sandblasting using fine sand particles has its disadvantages in the fact that it is apt to completely strip a coating down to bare metal also leaving marks and pitting of metals afterwards. Using nut shell grit in different grades has been found to be extremely effective, allowing for the removal of organic coatings, layer by layer without damage to the surfaces. Walnut shells, apricot nut shell grit, and pecan nut shell are processed using state-of-the-art equipment we have at Compo Mat and we have further soft abrasives suitable for a spectrum of purposes.
