Murzello - Abrasives
Murzello's offers a wide range
of abrasive from steel shots and grits to coconut shell and corn
cob. Selection of abrasive is very important factor in obtaining
the desired finish. The story of abrasive is an interesting one.
When the process of blasting started, sand was the only abrasive
in use. Today a variety of abrasives ranging from copper slag, garnet,
hard grain, corncob, steel shots and grits and cut wire are easily
available. However, the term 'sand blasting' is still used despite
sand as an abrasive being banned in most countries.
Murzello's engineers are available to assist you in the
appropriate selection and use of abrasive.

STEEL SHOT/GRIT:
Steel Shots are spherical particles available in sizes from S70
to S780.
Steel Grit are angular particles with the same chemistry and properties
of steel shot and are available in sizes from G120 to G10.
Both are available with varying hardness
HARD GRAIN:
Hard grain abrasive are angular in shape and is mainly used for
manual blasting at site. These abrasives have a life cycle of many
passes and are available in sizes HG120 to HG10. This is an environmentally
friendly abrasive.
GARNET:
Garnet are angular particles and is now a common blasting abrasive.
It is a free flowing grain with a moderate particle breakdown on
impact. Garnet is more environmentally friendly than copper slag
& sand.
COPPER SLAG:
Copper Slag is also angular in shape. It is not a reusable abrasive
and is being used as a replacement to sand. These are available
in unmeshed packing generally conforming to SS12/14.
CORN COB:
Corn Cob is the latest find in the blasting field. It is an agro
based product available in several grades of uniform particle size.
Being completely biodegradable, its abrasive and absorbent quantities
find application in many industries.
GLASS BEADS:
Glass beads are spherical in shapes and are available in a large
variety of sizes. Suitable for surface preparation, peening metal
surfaces, producing matt/satin finish on metals and plastics mould
cleaning etc.
