The TradeQuip "Made for the Trade" Walnut Shell Blasting Media Abrasive is designed for use in conjunction with our TradeQuip Blasting Cabinets. Nut shells and other organic materials, don't cause anchor patterns, making them useful for removing dirt, grease, oil, carbon, scale, burrs and paint without changing the underlying substrate. Walnut shells can be an excellent choice for softer surfaces such as wood — they won’t cause etching. Walnut shells are one of less abrasive blasting media you can use and are completely biodegradable, making them among the most environmentally-friendly blasting media. Walnut shell blasting media is great for rust-free paint removal from sheet metal and for cleaning engines and transmissions. Walnut media blasting is also an effective media for cleaning paint, grease and other dirt from the surface of a material whilst maintaining the integrity of substrate materials. Ideal for use with aluminium, brass and sheet metal. It has been specified for use with TradeQuip "Made for the Trade"  Blasting Cabinets only. Note: TradeQuip Walnut Shells cannot be used in TradeQuip Mobile Blasting Units
