Copper Slag also know as Iron Silicate is silica free, consumable abrasive blast media. It offers superior cutting and striping action leaving surface profiles ready to prime and paint. Ideal for large projects in shipyards, water tower blasting, pipe cleaning, and other heavy industrial paint striping applications.
Copper Slag / Iron Silicate is ideal when a quick and efficient paint stripping process is required. It produces a heavy to medium etch depending on the grade and leaves the surface to primed and painted. Copper Slag is a consumable, silica-free premium alternative to silica sand.
