    Copper slag is a byproduct of copper production that is used as an abrasive blasting material. It provides fast blast cleaning rates with very low dust formation. Some key advantages are its low cost, high cleaning speed, low abrasive consumption, and recyclability. Copper slag is commonly used to prepare metal and concrete surfaces by removing coatings like paint and rust through its angular shape and hardness. It has a high bulk density which reduces blast times and produces a moderate surface profile suitable for removing medium to heavy coatings.

    COPPER SLAG

    INTRODUCTION

    Copper Slag is produced from metallurgical slags and provides fast blast-cleaning rates. Three
    grades are available to suit most common blasting operations. The hardness and high density of
    Copper Slag give it a high resistance to fracture with very low dust formation during blasting, as
    well as faster blast-cleaning speed when compared to local slag abrasives. This abrasive is
    commonly used for restoration of heavily painted steel bridges, ships and water towers.
    Copper Slag is a disposable high-density blasting slag made from a by-product of copper
    production. Copper Slag distinguishes from light-weight blasting slag, due to its high density
    property.
    Cooper slag is primarily used for the surface preparation of metals and concrete surfaces. Cooper
    slag is often used for general purpose repair and maintenance blasting of coated steel surfaces.
    Copper slag produces a moderate profile and is used for a near white blast through medium to
    heavy coatings, heavy rust, and heavy mill scale
    Typically, the majority of its composition is iron oxide and silicon dioxide, formed when molten
    slag is quenched in cold water. This cooling process fractures the slag into coarse and angular
    particles, making it an ideal blasting slag with optimal blasting properties.
