Steel grits ensure effective surface cleaning and high surface roughness due to their angular, hard structure and long service life. Thanks to these properties, they are extensively used, especially in shipyards for shipbuilding and repair blasting, as well as in the manufacturing and repair of steel structures. They are produced in 3 different hardness grades, known in the market as GH (high hardness), GL (medium hardness), and GP (low hardness). However, GL steel grit, featuring a medium hardness grade, is the most commonly used type. While it is highly suitable for pressurized systems, it can also be used in wheel (turbine) blasting systems under certain special conditions.
Application Areas:
-
Cleaning residues such as dust, rust, and old paint prior to painting processes.
-
Surface preparation and cleaning prior to welding, coating, metallization, and painting works.
-
Ship blasting operations in shipyards.
-
Blasting operations for heavy-duty machinery and structures such as dams, bridges, structural steel, steel fabrications, and truck trailers.
-
The marble industry.
-
Surface preparation prior to rubber, polyurethane, and similar coating processes.
-
Used in wheel (turbine) systems, vacuum (suction/injection) systems, and pressurized systems.
