Applications

Discover the recommended industrial and agricultural applications for each corn cob grade:

Abrasives

Metalworking & Finishing

Common application: shot blasting and cast-part finishing

Because corn cob is considerably less aggressive than mineral abrasives, it is classified as a “soft abrasive”. It is an excellent absorbent medium, suitable for polishing, drying, removing impurities, and cleaning metal and plastic components. It is fully biodegradable and does not stick to parts while removing moisture, oil, and grease, leaving a clean, polished finish.
