Stremtec presents the WS060 type, high-quality steel shot (Steelshot) abrasive, specifically developed for industrial surface treatment, cleaning, and preparation tasks. This product is the ideal choice for the effective derusting and removal of paint residues from large structures, plates, and profiles.
Steel shot is a spherical, metal-based abrasive material primarily designed for use in closed-loop blasting equipment and sandblasting booths. The WS060 product belongs to the High Carbon (HC) steel shot category, which guarantees excellent mechanical properties and long service life during continuous reuse.
This specific size (0.3-0.6 mm) steel shot is ideally suited for:
Derusting: Powerfully removes surface oxidation (rust) from steel and iron surfaces.
Paint and Coating Removal: Effectively removes old paint layers, varnishes, and other coatings, preparing the surface for new treatment.
Surface Profile (Anchor Pattern) Creation: Ideal for creating a surface profile (profile depth), which is essential for applying coatings with durable adhesion (e.g., industrial paints, epoxy resins).
Plate, Profile, and Structural Steel Treatment: Used for fast and thorough cleaning of larger surfaces.
The use of WS060 steel shot optimizes the efficiency of blasting systems while ensuring the desired surface quality is achieved.
Excellent Roundness: Thanks to a strictly controlled manufacturing process, the shots are almost perfectly spherical, resulting in optimal rebound characteristics and a uniform blasting pattern.
High Hardness and Durability: The high carbon content (HC) ensures the shots' resistance to fracture and abrasion, maximizing the material's lifespan in closed-circuit blasting equipment.
Effective Cleaning: The 0.3-0.6 mm fraction creates an ideal balance between fast material removal and the fineness of the surface being treated.
More Environmentally Friendly Solution: As it is metal-based, WS060 is reusable, reducing the consumption of consumables compared to traditional mineral abrasives.
The product specifications ensure consistent performance and compatibility with equipment.

The selection of the appropriate grit size is critical for successful surface treatment. The 0.3-0.6 mm range is particularly advantageous in cases where the surface must not be treated too aggressively, yet still needs to be cleaned effectively.
Profile Depth Control: This grit size generally results in a medium profile depth (anchor profile), which is ideal for most industrial coatings. Overly coarse grit can cause excessive material loss, while overly fine grit will not ensure adequate adhesion. WS060 offers an optimal compromise in this respect.
Equipment Compatibility: The spherical shape minimizes wear on blasting heads and separators, and reduces the risk of blockage in closed-loop systems compared to angular (grit) materials. The 25 kg packaging is practical for small and medium-sized blasting units.
Quality Assurance: The steel shot distributed by Stremtec undergoes rigorous quality inspection to guarantee precise adherence to specifications, which is essential for continuously repeating industrial processes.
This product is part of Stremtec's extensive Workshop Equipment range, supporting the needs of the automotive, construction, and general metalworking sectors.
