Our range of plant-based abrasives includes corncob and walnut shells, available in a variety of grain sizes.

In fact, corn cob has the particularity of being highly moisture-absorbent and fairly resistant to abrasion.

This variety of abrasive is suitable for surface treatments using our
and rotary vibratory dryers. Similarly, walnut shells are fibrous and offer medium abrasive power.
In other words, these types of abrasives are mainly suitable for polishing and deburring applications.
