Copper slag is the workhorse abrasive of shipyards worldwide, and the yards around Dubai are no exception. It is a by product of copper smelting, angular and hard, which makes it cut aggressively through heavy corrosion, mill scale and aged multi coat paint systems. Its very low free silica content is the key advantage over sand: it avoids the silicosis hazard that has led to sand blasting being restricted in many jurisdictions.

MENA Industrial Supplies quotes copper slag in Dubai in standard 50 kg bags, big bags and bulk, in grades suited to new steel, maintenance blasting and heavy marine work. Copper slag is an expendable abrasive: it is used once and disposed of, which keeps logistics simple on site and in the yard.

Blasting with copper slag readily achieves the ISO 8501-1 Sa 2.5 near white standard that marine and protective coating specifications demand, with a surface profile suited to high build epoxy primers. For recyclable or lower dust requirements we also stock garnet abrasive. Delivery across Dubai, the UAE and GCC project sites.

Sa 2.5 near white metal to ISO 8501-1 is routinely achieved, with a profile suited to high build epoxies. Sa 3 is possible with fresh abrasive and correct technique.

Copper slag is the economical single use choice for open blasting in yards. Garnet costs more per bag but blasts faster, produces less dust and can be recycled several times in contained set ups. We stock both.
