Airblast Shinox is our high-quality stainless steel shot, engineered for fast and efficient cleaning with excellent durability in demanding blasting applications. Thanks to its corrosion-resistant stainless steel composition, Shinox prevents ferrous contamination and is particularly suitable for applications where surface cleanliness and material integrity are critical.
Blasting with Airblast Shinox generates minimal dust, contributing to a cleaner working environment and reduced filtration requirements. The abrasive produces a bright, uniform surface finish, making it ideal for components that require a high-quality appearance or further processing. Due to its long service life and consistent performance, Shinox is well suited for closed wheel blast machines, where controlled abrasive circulation and reuse are vital.
Airblast Shinox is commonly used for surface preparation prior to coating, as well as for deburring and descaling of stainless steel, aluminium and other non-ferrous materials. Its reliable performance and durability make it a preferred choice for industrial applications where both process efficiency and surface quality are key requirements.
