    COPPER SLAG

    Description:

    Copper Slag is an aggressive abrasive frequently used in new steel and steel maintenance applications. Its bulk density and angular shape give it an aggressiveness that provides clean, fast-cutting action, considerably increasing production rates.
    Faster cutting also means that abrasive consumption is reduced, saving you money on disposal costs and clean-up labor. 

    Common Uses:

    • Manufacturing/Maintenance of Storage Tanks
    • Water Towers, Ship Yards
    • Structural and Plate Steel
    • Oil Fields and Offshore Platforms

    Bulk Density: 100-120 lbs./cu.ft.
    Specific Gravity: 3.4-3.8 g/cc
    Free Silica: Less than 1%
    Type: By-product
    Recyclability: None
    Surface Etching: High

    Packaging Options

    Bulk Trucks: Available
    Drums: 4,000 lbs.
    Bulk Bags: 3000 | 4000 lbs.
    Bags: 50 | 100 lbs.

    Recommended Blasting Conditions

    Nozzle Pressure: 90–110 psi
