Firms extruding aluminum through an iron or steel die need to clean those dies periodically and they have found that any abrasive media that is too aggressive will change the dimensions of the openings on the dies, thus changing the dimensions of the aluminum extrusions being produced. NU-SOFT Shot is now in use by nearly all aluminum extruders throughout the US.
- Industry/Application: Aluminum extrusion
