Frequently Asked Questions?

How many times can this media be recycled? (click for answer)

Typically 0-2 times depending on blast pressure, recovery system, and contamination.

What is most common application for corn cob? (click for answer)

Corn cob is commonly used for light paint stripping, drying of parts, oil and grease absorption, de-flashing, and cleaning of soft substrates such as aluminum, wood, rubber, plastics, and composites. People use it on log homes, but this is not recommended or practical because it peens the wood instead of cutting, is more expensive than glass, and is organic so it will rot if any is left in the logs or in between the logs and the paint.

How much does it cost? (click for answer)

About $0.35 per pound. $700 per ton / $18 per bag. Sold in 50 lb bags (2000 lb pallets for full skid.) 

Usage & Typical Applications

Corn cob is used where light cleaning, absorption, and gentle coating removal are required.
