AIR BLASTING ABRASIVES
SHARPSHOT® has been a proven air blasting abrasive for over 25 years. It is an air-cooled and crushed iron silicate abrasive. The cooling and crushing process creates a hard, cubical, and aggressive abrasive.
Shipyards and contractors have relied on SHARPSHOT® for quality and cutting speed at a very competitive price, and it is now the preferred abrasive at many installations.
In tests run for NIOSH by an independent company, SHARPSHOT® was shown to be the best slag abrasive for cutting speed and cost per sq. ft.
SHARPSHOT® is a recycled iron silicate abrasive that is environmentally friendly; it is low-dusting, contains very low levels of heavy metals (see SDS) and is approved to be recycled into the manufacture of Portland cement.
SHARPSHOT® is a low-dusting abrasive containing less than 0.1% free silica.
SHARPSHOT® is available pre-blended with BLASTOX® for jobs involving lead-based paint.
SHARPSHOT® has been approved by CARB (California Air Resources Board) for dry unconfined outdoor abrasive blasting for over 25 years. Our proprietary air-wash system produces the cleanest low-dusting abrasive on the market.
SHARPSHOT® is approved by the U.S. Navy and listed on its qualified products list.
