What is Walnut Shell Blasting Media?

For people unfamiliar with the concept, blasting refers to the practice of propelling material called media using pressure in the effort to shape a surface to the needs of the user. Examples include but are not limited to smoothening rough surfaces, roughening smooth surfaces, and even removing contaminants clinging to surfaces. As a method, blasting has much to recommend it, not least because it is both efficient and effective.

Of course, the blasting process needs to use the right media to produce the best results. Unfortunately, most of the media that see common use have problems that make them either unpleasant or even inimical to human health. For example, some are corrosive, while others can become serious irritants when breathed in.

This is where walnut shell blasting media comes in.

As its name suggests, walnut shell blasting media is made using crushed walnut shells. Its choice of raw material provides it with the abrasive surfaces needed to be useful in blasting, plus a number of other important benefits such as an angular shape, a multi-faceted surface, and outstanding toughness under pressure. However, in spite of these characteristics, walnut shell blasting media is both biodegradable and non-corrosive. More than enough to make it a softer, gentler and more eco-conscious substitute for more common media such as sand.

In short, if you have surfaces that are in need of a thorough cleaning, then walnut shell blasting media should be your medium of choice. Despite its softer and gentler nature, it is more than enough to scour paint, coatings, and contaminants from a range of surfaces such as glass, metal, stone, wood, and plastic. At the same time, that same softness and gentleness also make it suitable for use in more delicate tasks such as polishing careworn jewelry and removing flash clinging to parts fresh from the mold. Since the media comes in a number of sizes, you can simply choose the one that is best-suited to your needs.

Because of the mess and stress involved with stripping paint and removing rust, theses tasks often fall into the category of “chores most people want to avoid.” However, it is possible to make these chores a lot less daunting. Whether you are rebuilding a car, repairing a boat, or refinishing a railing, using walnut shell blasting media can make stripping paint and removing rust considerably less onerous.

Boats

As sturdy as they may look, boats are very delicate machines. From their fiberglass hulls to their aluminum railings, they require considerable care and maintenance. Walnut shell blasting media is an ideal choice for removing paint from the hull or decking because it is abrasive enough to remove paint and rust without scratching or pitting the underlying surface.

Classic Vehicles

No one loves their cars more than classic car collectors. Unfortunately, most classic cars contain a considerable amount of steel which means that over time rust can become a real problem. It quite literally eats away at a classic car owner’s investment. Because of the many angles and crevices that can be found on vehicles, removing rust and old paint safely can be a time consuming and costly affair. Blasting it with walnut shell media can get the job done safely and efficiently. This makes it a cost-effective solution that is appealing to both body shops and private collectors.

Household Needs

From wrought iron railings to redwood decks, walnut shell blasting media can be sprayed without risking damage to these expensive features. Further, because walnut shells are non-toxic and biodegradable, you don’t have to worry about gathering them up after it has been sprayed. This makes using walnut shell media a much better option than silica based abrasives which can harm birds and small mammals should they ingest them.

The Comprehensive Utilization of Walnut Shell

Hi Everybody,
We often believed that besides do a dried fruit consumption walnut outside, no other purposes, and in fact, walnut and its whole body is a very high value.
According to the analysis, every 100g of walnut contains
1. ash: 0.663g

2. water: 9.59g

3. benzene alcohol content: 3.71g

4. lignin out: 38.05g
5. cellulose: 30.88g
6. hemicellulose: 27.26g

The past walnut as sales dried fruit, nut shell to the recycling, and now many walnut is deep processing using, the produced a large concentration of walnut is abandoned or burned, cause tremendous waste of resources.
Therefore, to strengthen the comprehensive utilization of walnut shell, avoid walnut waste of resources, production high added value of the products, not only can effectively treat solid waste, and be able to reuse, improve economic income.
