In the construction industry our metallic abrasives are used to treat the pipes, steel structures, tubes etc. During the production phase our high carbon steel grit is mainly used for etching prior to coating of the steel structures. In a lesser extent desanding and descaling takes place in the industry, again requiring metallic abrasives. At a later stage, open blasting activities with expendable abrasives like garnet and aluminium silicate (coal slag) needs to be performed for maintenance purposes.
