Steel Shot - Marine Paint and Painting Equipment
Steel shot is a reusable, spherical metallic abrasive used in shipyards for abrasive blasting before marine coating application. It removes mill scale, rust, old coatings and contaminants while producing a controlled anchor profile on steel surfaces.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Steel Shot for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.

Standards, Certifications & Class Approval
Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.
| Applicable Standards & Certification | Commonly specified to ISO 11124-3 for metallic blast-cleaning abrasives made from cast steel. SAE J444, SAE J827 and SAE J1993 may also be referenced for steel shot classification, quality and grading. |
|---|---|
| Class Approval | Steel shot is generally not individually class-approved. Acceptance is normally governed by the shipyard specification, coating manufacturer requirements and the applicable class-approved surface-preparation and coating system. DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, BV and ClassNK requirements may apply to the completed coating work. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Use only in compatible blast rooms, pressure-blast equipment or centrifugal wheel-blast machines. Select shot size and hardness according to the required surface profile and coating manufacturer's specification. Maintain effective abrasive recovery, screening and dust extraction. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Monitor abrasive contamination, breakdown and particle-size distribution. Remove fines and debris with separators, replenish worn shot and inspect blast equipment for nozzle, hose, wheel and liner wear. Keep unused abrasive dry. |
| Safety Notes | Use an approved blasting helmet or respiratory system, hearing protection, protective clothing, gloves and safety footwear. Isolate the blasting area, control dust and verify ventilation. Follow the abrasive and coating supplier's safety data sheets and applicable shipyard permit requirements. |
