We manufacture Zinc Cut Wire Shot (Zinc Shot) as per VDFI 8001 suitable for use in deburring, deflashing, and general cleaning of light metal castings and other non-ferrous products. Our products reduce wear and tear on blast equipment compared to most other metallic abrasives and creates less dust.
Zinc Cut Wire Shot will not damage soft-alloy cast parts and in most cases, parts need no other cleaning prior to a plating process. A thin film of zinc deposited onto cast parts which will temporarily protect parts from corrosion.
