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
