NICKEL SLAG

Nickel slag, thanks to its high density and hard structure, is a powerful abrasive material preferred especially in industrial sandblasting applications. Obtained as a byproduct of nickel production, it undergoes special processes to reduce its free silica content. Its key advantages include providing fast and effective surface cleaning and a uniform roughening in preparation for coating. It is widely used for cleaning ship hulls, steel construction, tanks, and concrete surfaces. Its low dust generation and high efficiency offer cost advantages.
