Nickel Slag | Industrial Abrasive with
Strong Cutting Effect
Nickel slag is a mineral abrasive obtained from metallurgical processes, featuring high density and sharp grains. It offers strong cutting performance and cost-effective use, especially in heavy-duty blasting applications.

What Is Nickel Slag?
Nickel slag is an industrial byproduct obtained by controlled cooling and crushing of molten slag produced during nickel manufacturing. Its angular grain structure provides effective cutting and cleaning on surfaces, making it widely preferred for large-scale blasting operations.
