Walnut Shell Media

 

Chemical Name: Walnut shell

Walnut shells were originally developed for cleaning gasoline and diesel engines due to its lack of silicon and toughness. It will clean metals, alloys and plastics without scratching or pitting the surface. Walnut shell abrasives are specially manufactured to eliminate mineral contamination and/or metal contamination. Blast cleaning with walnut shell abrasives are now commonly used to remove everything from paint, rust, chemical and carbon deposits, to lacquer and scale. One of the most popular use is the deflashing of molded plastic parts.
