Corn cob blast media is an organic, biodegradable abrasive made from crushed and graded corn cobs. It is ideal for delicate surface cleaning, drying, and polishing without damaging the substrate.
Q2. What are the typical uses of corn cob blasting?
Corn cob blasting is used for cleaning wood, brick, stone, aluminum, log homes, automotive parts, aircraft surfaces, and even historical restorations. It removes dirt, coatings, or contaminants without etching or harming the surface.
Q3. Is corn cob media safe for soft surfaces?
Yes. Corn cob is a non-abrasive media that gently cleans without scratching or damaging softer materials such as wood, fiberglass, and soft metals.
Q4. How does corn cob blasting compare to sandblasting?
Unlike sandblasting, which is aggressive and can damage soft surfaces, corn cob blasting is gentle, dust-controlled, and ideal for applications where surface preservation is critical.
Q5. What grit sizes are available for corn cob media?
