Due to its high hardness and brittleness, it always retains an acute-angled shape, having this maximum performance compared to other brands of shot.

The size of the granules affects the quality and speed of processing. The more particles contained in a kilogram of product, the higher the surface cleaning rate: per unit time, a greater number of shot granules come into contact with the cleaned surface, but the shot must be of sufficient size to fulfill the set technological task.
