Flowspec: Industry Leader in Manufacturing and Distributing Walnut Shells

Business success doesn’t happen overnight. It takes the right combination of people, product, and perseverance to become the best. At Flowspec, we don’t take our success for granted because we know just how much work it took to become the global leader we are today.

In the early 80′s, few people thought that walnut shells could compete with silica and chemical-based agents. Engineers and scientists spent vast amounts of time, and considerable resources developing everything from synthetic oil filters and blasting media to cosmetic exfoliating ingredients. While these efforts generated some remarkable products, the reality is that Mother Nature had already perfected the process and created a natural agricultural sub-product that was superior and less damaging to the environment.

 



At Flowspec, our crushed walnut shells can be ground to a wide variety of grit sizes without losing any of their effectiveness. This makes them ideal for use in the following applications:

•As an exfoliate within cosmetics and soaps.
•As a non-toxic pet litter for use within litter boxes or aquariums.
•As an abrasive blasting media safe for use on plastics, metals, and ceramics.
•As an effective purification agent ideally suited for oil drilling operations.
•As a porosity enhancer for use with grinding wheels and ceramics.

That’s just the short list of known and potential applications that stretches page after page. As more and more industries seek cost-effective and eco-friendly options for their operations, we are quite certain that this list will continue to grow. As engineers and scientists will no doubt continue to develop methods of using crushed walnut shells even more effectively, we look forward to supplying the raw product their industries require.

Since 1981, Flowspec has been supplying crushed walnut shells to industries around the world. We take great pride in the manufacturing and distribution networks we have built over the years, and we would be more than happy to discuss the many ways our products can benefit your business.
