The hardness of steel shot produced by SINTOKOGIO, Ltd. and its international production bases is precisely controlled within the appropriate range of HRC40-50. It develops a high blast cleaning ability resulted in a substantial curtailment of blasting time and remarkable upgrading of treating work volume. Even the workpieces having a complicated profile with many holes and dents are cleaned quickly and uniformly due to its superior rebounding property. SINTOKOGIO's steel shot assures customer satisfaction by shortening processing time, increasing output and reducing cleaning cost remarkably.
