Walnut Shell 60 mesh

Why Choose Walnut Shell 60 Mesh for Delicate Surface Preparation?

Unlike hard mineral abrasives such as aluminum oxide or garnet, walnut shell media is biodegradable, non-toxic, and silica-free. Its low hardness (approximately 3.0–3.5 on the Mohs scale) allows it to strip dirt, paint, and light corrosion while preserving the integrity of the underlying surface. The 60 mesh particle size offers a balanced profile for cleaning and light deburring with a consistent finish.

Industrial Applications of 60 Mesh Walnut Shell

Procurement teams and maintenance engineers select this grade for applications where surface preservation is critical. Typical uses include:

• Automotive and Aerospace: Cleaning engine components, gearboxes, turbine blades, and aluminum castings without dimensional loss.
• Plastic and Composite Molds: Removing residue and build-up from injection molds and composite tooling without scratching.
• Electronics: Deflashing and cleaning delicate electronic connectors and circuit boards.
• Restoration: Stripping paint from fiberglass, wood, and historical artifacts where pitting is unacceptable.

Operational Guidance for Blasting Professionals

Walnut Shell 60 mesh is suitable for both suction and direct-pressure blasting systems. For optimal results, maintain a blast pressure of 2–4 bar (30–60 PSI) and adjust the angle of attack to 45–60 degrees. This media can be recycled multiple times depending on the hardness of the coating being removed and the blast pressure used. Always ensure the media is dry and free-flowing to prevent clogging in metering valves.
