Blasting Materials distributed by GritSablare are characterized by outstanding quality. This quality is reflected in an above-average service life, a very high productivity and value retention.
Blasting Media Calcium Silicate (SCOREX)
- High-performance abrasive made from granulated blast furnace slag (calcium silicate), formed during steel production in a blast furnace;
- Because of its optimised particle size distribution, SCOREX removes the existing coating whilst simultaneously creating a suitable surface profile with a nice silver finish;
- Uses: SCOREX performs in a variety of applications. Particularly suitable for blast cleaning and treatment of natural stone, wood and concrete surfaces, as well as for stainless steel and aluminium. It delivers great results in the preparation of façades and monuments.

SCOREX Description
- SCOREX is a high-performance abrasive made from granulated blast furnace slag (calcium silicate), formed during steel production in a blast furnace.
- Granulation of the molten slag in water produces a hard, angular abrasive with an attractive sandy appearance and a very low metal content.
- Consistent performance makes SCOREX suitable for surface preparation standards Sa 1, Sa 2, Sa 2½ and Sa 3, as well as for sweep blasting.
- SCOREX is a non-hazardous material containing less than 1% free crystalline silica with very low dust levels.

Calcium Silicate User Safety
Calcium Silicate is a safe, ecologic and stable material. It does not need special attention while handled. Wearing personal protection equipment is necessary, as well as avoiding eye contact. Storing this material does not require special conditions. All it needs is a good air ventilation in the storage space.
In case of inhalation, the affected person must be taken out, to fresh air, and kept in a comfortable position so he/she can breathe properly. If he/she has difficulties breathing, oxygen can be administered. If he/she stops breathing, CPR manoeuvres can be performed. In this case, a medical intervention is also necessary.
Avoid direct contact with the skin. If your skin entered in direct contact with this abrasive material, you must wash the affected area with clean water for 20 minutes. Use a soft soap and clean water.
In case of ingestion, a doctor’s intervention is necessary. All treatments applied to the victim must take into account the symptoms showed by that victim.
Avoid walking through the material and always wear personal protective equipment. In case of leakages, one must insulate the area on an approximately 25 meters radius in all directions. It is forbidden to spill this material in water. Please avoid dust. Use professional vacuum cleaners to clean the area.
This material comprises silicate crystals and/or quartz. According to the IARC Monographs for assessing the hazards posed by chemical substances to people, this material bears a potential risk of cancer.
