Product Description and Technical Data:
CleanBlast™ Zinc Shot is a soft metallic abrasive, used primarily in the die-casting and gravity casting industries for the deburring and deflashing of aluminium and zinc alloy castings.
CleanBlast™ Zinc Shot is an ideal abrasive for blasting corrosion resistant steels and non-ferrous products, when the risk of ferrous contamination to the surface cannot be tolerated.

CleanBlast™ Zinc Shot is manufactured from virtually pure zinc. This enables it to be used in applications where there is a hi - gh risk of explosion if an aluminium shot were to be used. This is typically applicable when deflashing aluminium components with aluminium shot. The high volume of dust generated can lead to an explosive atmosphere. Aluminium shot is approximately 10 time s more explosive than CleanBlast™ Zinc Shot, so the use of CleanBlast™ Zinc Shot greatly reduces the risk of explosion.
CleanBlast™ Zinc Shot is approximately 2.5 times denser than aluminium shot. This feature permits CleanBlast™ Zinc Shot to be used for deflashing and deburring components that would ordinarily not be deflashed or deburred adequately with aluminium shot. T he high density of CleanBlast™ Zinc Shot enables it to remove burrs up to 40% in size of the shot's diameter.
CleanBlast™ Zinc Shot will remove burrs 0.5 mm thick, whilst an equivalently sized aluminium shot will remove a burr only 0.3 mm thick.
