Zinc Cut Wire Shots
? LOW-DENSITY, ANTI-CORROSIVE BLAST MEDIA FOR PRECISION CLEANING
Overview
Zinc Cut Wire Shots are soft, non-ferrous, low-density blasting media manufactured from high-purity zinc wire. Designed for specialized applications that demand?gentle cleaning, controlled peening, corrosion protection, and zero ferrous contamination, these shots are ideal for brass, aluminum, zinc die-cast, and delicate non-ferrous components.
Their cushioning impact, combined with corrosion-resistant chemistry, makes Zinc Cut Wire Shots the preferred media for finishing decorative parts, die-cast components, and corrosion-sensitive assemblies.

ZINC CUT WIRE SHOTS ?
LOW-DENSITY, ANTI-CORROSIVE BLAST MEDIA FOR PRECISION CLEANING
Overview
Zinc Cut Wire Shots are soft, non-ferrous, low-density blasting media manufactured from high-purity zinc wire. Designed for specialized applications that demand?gentle cleaning, controlled peening, corrosion protection, and zero ferrous contamination, these shots are ideal for brass, aluminum, zinc die-cast, and delicate non-ferrous components.
Their cushioning impact, combined with corrosion-resistant chemistry, makes Zinc Cut Wire Shots the preferred media for finishing decorative parts, die-cast components, and corrosion-sensitive assemblies.
Key Features
1. Soft, Controlled Impact ? No Substrate Damage
With a low hardness of ~40?50 HRB and density ~7.1 g/cm?, Zinc shots clean?without marring, pitting, or warping?delicate non-ferrous components.
2. Prevents Ferrous Contamination
Zinc is non-rusting and leaves?no iron residue, making these shots ideal for:
? Decorative fittings
? Precision components
? Parts requiring bright, stain-free finish
3. Anti-Corrosive & Passivating Behavior
Zinc offers inherent corrosion resistance while producing a?smooth, uniform, satin finish?suitable as a base for painting, powder coating, plating, or anodizing.
4. Low Dust & Long Service Life
Since Zinc shots are cut from solid wire, they retain their shape longer, fracture less, and generate?minimal dust, resulting in:
? Cleaner working environment
? Lower media consumption
? Reduced wear on blast turbines, nozzles, and reclaim systems
5. Available in As-Cut & Conditioned (Rounded) Grades
- As-Cut:?Cylindrical, slightly sharper impact
- Conditioned:?Spherical, smooth, balanced performance, ideal for cosmetic finishing
Applications
Zinc Die Casting & Non-Ferrous Component Manufacturers
? Cleaning and finishing of zinc, brass, and aluminum die-cast parts
