Composition Materials pioneered Walnut Shell Blasting with the US Navy in the 1950's. With the introduction of Walnut Shell Blasting, aircraft carriers and submarines were stripped of only their top coating, leaving the expensive undercoats intact. Prior to the introduction of Walnut Shell Blasting, coatings were removed down to bare metal, requiring the replacement of the undercoat, the vinyl coat, and the top coat. Selective Coating Removal with walnut shells originated here and saved the Navy time & money. This blasting technology is used to effectively and safely across a wide range of industries and applications.
With our partner Shellpro's acquisition of Agrashell in 2002, they became the largest manufacturer of walnut shell products and we became the largest supplier of walnut shells in the world. Our consulting service is available to you regarding the use of Walnut Shell Grit, Plasti-Grit, or other members of our Soft Abrasive family of products.
