The Navy had been refurbishing ship hulls by sandblasting them with abrasive mineral grit that removed all of the layers of paint and coatings down to bare steel, which proved costly to repaint. In blast operations, a number of factors are involved and they include safety, nozzle distance, media particle size, and p. Walnut shell blasting does not cause silicosis and hence provides a perfect alternative to sandblasting. Walnut shell performs well in a variety of pH and temperature conditions and are resistant to fermentation.

This bio-degradable yet eco-friendly material minimizes moisture absorption and controls bacterial infection.
