Copper Slag
Our Copper Slag Abrasive offers a robust and cost-effective solution for a wide range of industrial applications. Engineered for superior performance, this abrasive material is derived from recycled copper smelting byproducts, providing an environmentally conscious choice without compromising on quality. Its angular and dense particles ensure efficient surface preparation, effectively removing rust, scale, and old coatings from steel and other substrates. This results in a clean, profiled surface ready for painting or further processing. With its high hardness and cutting power, our Copper Slag Abrasive delivers exceptional blasting rates, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity.
