With its metallurgical enhancements, Nu-Soft Steel Shot is the perfect match for both centrifugal wheel blast machines and pressure air blast cabinets. No need for tweaks or additions; it’s ready to perform in your existing setup.

Engineered for Excellence:
Nu-Soft Steel Shot boasts a Rockwell C hardness of just 12-15, meaning it’s tough on grime but gentle on your parts. Its ultra-low carbon composition and density slightly above 7g/cc contribute to its incredible durability – outlasting standard shot by more than double and other media by nearly a thousandfold.

Premium Quality, Premium Results:
We deliver nothing but the best. Our shot is crafted from virgin, premium-grade steel, ensuring that only full, perfectly spherical particles make it through to you. Our meticulous furnace processing fine-tunes the shot’s chemistry to optimize performance.

Safety First:
Delicate details? Polished surfaces? Threaded holes? Nu-Soft Steel Shot cleans without compromise. It doesn’t work-harden or reshape your parts, nor does it create excessive dust and fines. And it’s designed to preserve both your piece and your blast equipment, extending the life and efficiency of your operation.

Seamless Integration:
Match the density of standard steel shot with Nu-Soft for effortless integration into your blasting system, all while maintaining your machine’s energy efficiency. Plus, if you’re using a magnetic separator, you’re in luck—Nu-Soft works flawlessly with it.
Choose Nu-Soft Steel Shot for a cleaning solution that combines strength with sensitivity – because your most delicate parts deserve the gentlest touch.
