Walnut Shell Abrasive

Walnut Shell abrasive is a hard and fibrous product made from crushed walnut shell in accordance with International Trade Standard. It is the most common type of soft abrasive for industrial use. Walnut Shell has excellent durability and is now widely used to blast clean and polish soft metals, glass, fiberglass, wood, plastic and stone.

Walnut Shell is used in both tumbling and vibratory applications for polishing gems and jewelry. It also works as a de-burring and de-flashing product for molding, casting and electrical parts.

Walnut Shell is ground to various sizes ranging from coarse to extra fine, allowing for a fine degree of control of the desired finish. Like other soft media, Walnut Shell cleans and removes matter from surfaces without damaging the underlying material.

Uses include:

• Removal of paint, flash, burrs and other flaws in plastic, alloy die casting and electronics
• Cleaning automotive parts
• Cleaning aircraft engines and turbines
• Removing graffiti
• Architectural cleaning and restoration of steel, wood, brick stone or concrete
• Polishing and cleaning of fine metals and alloys
