Copper Slag is a high-performance mineral abrasive blasting media widely used for surface preparation, rust removal, mill scale removal, paint stripping, and industrial sandblasting. Produced as a by-product of copper smelting, copper slag features hard, angular particles that provide excellent cutting performance while creating the ideal anchor profile for protective coatings.
Copper Slag is a cost-effective, low free-silica abrasive that offers fast cleaning rates and low dust generation, making it suitable for large-scale blasting projects in shipyards, oil & gas facilities, steel fabrication plants, bridges, tanks, pipelines, and heavy industrial applications.
