COAL SLAG AND IRON SILICATE ROOFING GRANULES, ABRASIVES AND FILLERS

Black Diamond Iron Silicate: Hit Harder, Clean Faster

Black Diamond Iron Silicate blasting granules get the job done – fast! This blast media is 20% heavier than other mineral slags, which gives it the muscle to cut 15% faster with 20% less product consumption. It’s also EPA approved for beneficial reuse as an abrasive, so you can stretch your supply even further.

What’s more, we have an immense amount of raw material – 43 million tons, to be precise – which means you can trust U.S. Minerals to provide the stable, reliable, long-term product source you need.

And with low dusting, extremely low free silica content and consistent gradation, Black Diamond delivers the outstanding performance you expect.
