Corncob is used in blasting as a dry and virtually dust-free mild abrasive that removes material without damaging underlying surfaces. Little sanding is necessary, unlike sandblasting & power washing, that may cause pitting & fuzzing of wood, thus saving both time and expense. Corncob grit presents no personal health hazards. It is an environmentally friendly and biodegradable substance that makes cleanup easy. It is resistant to break down and can be re-used multiple times during the blasting process, dramatically reducing the quantity of abrasive material necessary for a particular job. Best Cob corncob grit is available in a variety of sizes and is compatible with standard sandblasting equipment.
Corncob is characterized as an abrasive and absorbent material, both of which are desirable in the tumbling and deburring process. It is capable of polishing and deburring parts while simultaneously cleaning and drying them. Having a low moisture content, allows for supreme absorption of oil and other liquids during the finishing process. Size selection is typically determined by the desired finish, the surface, and the diameter of any holes or cavities in the part. The selected size should not contain particles that would lodge in part openings.
Corncob is an environmentally friendly and biodegradable product that can be used to absorb a variety of fluids, including water, oil, grease, sludge, and coolant, making it ideal for routine shop spills or large industrial absorbency needs such as oil fracking. Due to its superior absorption capability, less material is needed to get the job done. In addition, due to corncobs being lightweight in nature, they add less volume than other absorbents, thus reducing cost on material, transportation, and disposal.
Best Cob corncob is an ideal bedding and litter for birds, cats, mice, rats, guinea pigs and other small animals. It is an all-natural, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly substance with no harsh chemicals to cause irritation, making it a healthy choice for sensitive animals. Corncob is light weight, ultra absorbent, and granular in form. It allows liquid and odor to freely flow to the bottom to be captured, thus controlling ammonia levels, increasing animal hygiene, and making cleanup quick and easy.
Corncob is a superior medium for carrying active ingredients in nutrition, medication, and flavoring products for livestock and pets. It facilitates homogeneous mixing and uniform particle distribution in premixtures or compound feed.
Best Cob corncob can be easily mixed with other feed or pelletized to extend feed rations. It has shown to improve livestock digestive health and can be used as added fiber in pet foods.
Best Cob corncob grit is an ideal carrier for garden and lawn care applications such as insecticides, herbicides, and pesticides. Corncob granules exhibit two important characteristics: strong penetration and the slow release of chemicals, thus increasing effectiveness and lengthening the period of activity. Corncob is an environmentally friendly, biodegradable, and inert product that has no impact on the integrity of additives.
Corncob is considered a "brown material" as it largely consists of carbon. Carbon is important in the composting process because it is the energy source for compost microbes. To gardeners, compost is considered "black gold" because of its many benefits in the garden. The addition of corncob compost improves the water holding capacity of soil and can help enhance plant growth and health.
Corncob can be used for many unique and specialized applications. It is continually tested for new uses due to possessing many desirable traits.
