Copper Slag

ABRASIVE

Copper Slag offers economical, fast, and safe abrasive blasting for steel and concrete surfaces.

Copper Slag is a by-product of copper manufacturing, processed into granulated abrasive grit (iron silicate). With sharp, hard cutting edges, it delivers fast cleaning action and excellent surface profile preparation. Its low silica content minimises health hazards compared to silica sand, making it a safe, low-cost expendable material for open blast cleaning where recovery and reuse are not practical.

Performance

Fast Cleaning Action

Sharp edges provide rapid removal of corrosion, coatings, and deposits.

Economical Use

Cost-effective abrasive for expendable blasting applications

Surface Profile Preparation

Creates consistent profiles from 40 to 120 microns depending on grade.

Versatile Grades

Coarse, medium, and fine grades tailored to different cleaning requirements.

 

Safe Operation

Low silica content reduces health risks compared to silica sand.
