Need a Good, Safe Polishing Media? Try Crushed Walnut Shells

There’s always a dilemma when you’re looking for an effective polishing media. On the one hand, you want something strong to get rid of tough grime and stains. At the same time, you need something that’s gentle enough to avoid scratching more delicate and fragile surfaces. With crushed walnut shells from Flowspec, you get the best of both worlds. This multi-tasking material has many uses and is available in many different grit sizes for the tough jobs around your home.

Crushed walnut shells have many applications 

as a polishing media, as their different consistencies 

enable you to polish items like fine metals, eyeglasses 

lenses, and decorative stones.

Our products developed from crushed walnut shells have many applications as a polishing media. Different consistencies enable you to polish fine metals, eyeglasses lenses and decorative stones. However, the products are safe enough to shine up ivory and coral without damaging the surfaces. You can even use this media to polish up fine gem stones, turquoise and other jewelry pieces. In fact, walnut shell polishing products are considering a “soft polishing” media because they don’t damage underlying layers of the object.

At the same time, Flowspec products have the strength and durability to remove rust, corrosion, tarnish and other difficult-to-remove materials. Our crushed walnut shells will polish away the surface without affecting the fine metal, alloys or mechanical equipment underneath. These products can handle the tough jobs, yet you don’t risk ruining what lies beneath.

Flowspec crushed walnut shell products are also able to be used with excellent results in applications where you want to avoid flammable or harsh solvents. This is due to this polishing media’s angular, multi-faceted qualities. Another advantage is that the material doesn’t require a liquid application, thereby avoiding lengthy drying times. Plus, the technology behind crushed walnut shells as a polishing formula prevents the dust that typically accompanies other products.

The powerful, polishing media formulas available from Flowspec enable you to safely clean the toughest grime from the most fragile surfaces in your home. The crushed walnut shells that our products are developed from are also organic, renewable and sustainable, so you’ll be supporting environmentally-sound initiatives at the same time.

Walnut Shell Blasting Media Is a Great Use for Metal Specialists

There is just something special about the sheen on a shiny piece of metal. It reflects quality, craftsmanship, and durability that few other materials can match. Unfortunately, metal is prone to all sorts of problems from dents and scratches to the worst of them all…rust. Indeed, while it may appear timeless, the beauty and strength of metal only lasts so long before it needs a little TLC to make it look like new again.

 



Whether the metal you are working on is a structural component of a building, a decorative piece of furniture, or an engine component, blasting it with walnut shell media is an effective way to clean away the gunk and grime. Indeed, it can quickly and safely remove everything from oil and grease, to dirt and rust.

This is important because the goal of any blasting operation is to protect and repair the piece without damaging it. Walnut shell media fits this bill perfectly. It is just hard enough that it can remove anything attached to the surface, but not so hard that you have to be overly concerned with pitting the piece.  Coupled with the fact that walnut shells come in a wide variety of grit sizes, they can be used to clean everything from steel girders and iron railings to precision engine parts made of titanium or aluminum.

Further, unlike other blasting media such as silica, walnut shell media isn’t toxic and won’t lead to serious health concerns. This makes it safer for your staff to use, and spent walnut shells are much easier to dispose of when you are finished with them. For these reasons among many others, walnut shells are quickly becoming the favorite for use within barrel tumbling, oil drilling, and auto repair operations.

We invite you to contact Flowspec to learn more about the walnut shell media we have available for your blasting operations. We will be happy to tell you about the various grits we have available and the ways you can incorporate our products into your operations.

Cosmetic Tips: Walnut Shells Create Naturally Soft Skin

Cosmetics Walnut Shells

Natural beauty is something that age, time, and harmful chemical cosmetics can mask and hide as the year's pass by. Fortunately, using crushed walnut shells makes it possible to strip these layers away from the mask of time to bring out the natural beauty hiding beneath the surface.

Health Benefits

Exfoliating skin not only makes it appear healthier, it makes it healthier. By removing dead skin it increases circulation to the surface. In turn, this increases tone, makes skin feel smoother, and naturally, it makes it feel much softer than before. So, whether or not the consumer is 18 or 80, their skin can look baby fresh and blemish free.

Of course, exfoliation also helps keep skin moisturized and looking its absolute best regardless of the season. Again, the increased blood flow to the surface of the skin makes it easier for the body to keep it healthy and refreshed with nutrients.

Cost Benefits to Manufacturers & Consumers

Because of their natural hardness, walnut shells will not break down and disintegrate within creams, gels, and liquids. This extends the shelf life of the beauty product considerably, and it is one of the many reasons consumers are opting for lotions, cleansers, scrubs, etc. that contain walnut shells.

This means manufacturers won't have to be concerned with products being returned as unusable, or receiving negative reviews from dissatisfied consumers. For consumers, they know they're purchasing a product that will last and that they can rely upon.  

Environmental Benefits

Crushed walnut shells are 100% natural which means that scrubs containing them do not require harsh chemicals or other abrasives to make them effective. This makes them entirely non-toxic which means that as they wash down the drain, they won't pollute water supplies. Since consumers are carefully scrutinizing the environmental impact of their beauty products, it means products that contain walnut shells have a significant edge over the competition.

Crushed walnut shells have a number of applications ranging from cosmetics to oil production. We invite you to contact Flowspec to learn more about the many ways you can use oil shells within your operations.

Walnut Shell Exfoliating Creams and Scrubs

Walnut Shell Scrub

Crushed walnut shell is a hard fibrous material ideal as an abrasive. Walnut grit is extremely durable – in fact larger particles sizes are used as abrasives in engineering and stone polishing plants.

The larger particle sizes are not recommended for the face as they can break down delicate skin around the eye area. Nonetheless walnuts can be used effectively in natural facial exfoliants when crushed to a fine powder.

The angular and multi-faceted minute particles of walnut shell powder retain the extreme hardness of the walnut shell – yet because of their fine particle size – they will act as a soft abrasive in a cream or lotion. The fine walnut shell powder which is insoluble in water is ideal for use in a natural facial exfoliant or scrub where a polishing or refining action is required.

Walnut Shell Exfoliating Creams and Scrubs

For body applications, walnut shells are ground to fine particles, and sterilized before packing. They come as light brown particles which are clearly visible in a cream and ideal as a superb body exfoliant. Walnut shells are extremely hard and do not break down in the product. Their hardness makes them a highly effective natural body scrub coping very efficiently with even thick deposits of dead surface skin.

Walnut Shell Body Scrubs

Exfoliating creams and scrubs help remove dead cells from the surface layers of the skin and porepare the skin to take moisturisation and anti-ageing treatments. Exfoliating is also an instantly rewarding activity – unlike much skin care the consumer doesn’t have to wait to see the results.

Regular exfoliation can almost instantly help skin feel softer, smoother, more moisturized, more even in skin tone, and appear brighter and healthier. Not only that but results get better as exfoliation is built into a regular skin care routine at least once or twice a week.

As levels of consumer understanding about the benefits of exfoliation have risen so demand for exfoliating products has increased – throughout the year and in all climates.

In the summer months exfoliation is essential as winter skin is suddenly exposed and consumers want to slough off blemishes or prepare their skin for self-tanning applications. In winter exfoliating is the first step in deep moisturisation of the skin to protect it from the extremes of centrally heated interiors and cold weather.
