CORN COB

A SOFT BLAST MEDIA ALTERNATIVE

ESCA is proud to offer Corn Cob blast media. Corn Cob particles are considered a “soft abrasive” meaning they are less abrasive than sand but can be used in the same blasting equipment to effectively clean log homes, concrete, factory interiors and equipment. Cob can also be used to clean, dry and polish metal parts in tumbling or vibratory finishing machines.

BIODEGRADABLE & RENEWABLE

Corn cob particles are all-natural and will biodegrade outside in a matter of days. So whether they’re spread on a job site or remain on the ground from a log blasting job, you do not have to worry about damage to the surrounding environment.  Corncobs are a by-product of the corn industry, so each year brings a fresh supply of corncobs for a variety of uses.
