Walnut Shell 120 mesh

Why Walnut Shell 120 Mesh for Delicate Surface Preparation

Unlike mineral or metallic abrasives, walnut shell media relies on a combination of low bulk density and controlled friability. The 120-mesh particle size delivers a fine, uniform finish while preserving tight tolerances. The media fractures upon impact, absorbing energy that would otherwise transfer to the substrate. This makes it ideal for cleaning molds, removing light oxidation from aluminum, stripping coatings from fiberglass, and deflashing electronic connectors.

Procurement teams and process engineers choose 120-mesh walnut shell when they need consistent surface quality without secondary polishing or rework. The organic composition also simplifies waste handling and reduces the risk of embedding compared to harder grits.

Typical Industrial Applications

• Mold and die cleaning: Removes release agents, light carbon, and residue from injection molds and rubber dies without altering cavity dimensions.
• Soft metal finishing: Deburrs and cleans aluminum, brass, and copper components without surface impingement.
• Composite and fiberglass stripping: Safely removes paint and coatings from aerospace and marine composite structures.
• Electronics deflashing: Cleans delicate connectors and circuit board assemblies without damage.
• Automotive restoration: Strips paint from classic car bodies and delicate trim without warping thin-gauge metal.

Selection and Handling Guidance

Walnut Shell 120 mesh performs best in suction-fed or pressure-pot blasting systems at moderate air pressures (typically 2–4 bar). For optimal results, maintain dry, oil-free compressed air and ensure the media is stored in a moisture-controlled environment. The 120-mesh grade is suited to fine-finish work; coarser grades (e.g., 60/80 mesh) are available for faster stripping where surface profile is less critical. SPA2Z can help you select the correct grade for your process parameters.
