Crushed Corn Cob has been used as polishing media for many years.  When it comes to friction polishing media, it is very hard to beat - due to its excellent natural qualities.  Why?

Vibratory finishing and tumbling in a tumbler are mass finishing processes where abrasive and absorbent characteristics are often both desirable. Corncob grit is very good at retaining the added polishing compound, and hard enough to cut away dirt without the damage to surfaces.

Grit blasting with corn cob particles is accomplished with the same equipment as used for sand blasting. Because corncob grit is considerably less aggressive than sand, it is often categorized as a "soft abrasive" (corncob grit has a 4.5 Mohs hardness). Corncob grit does not etch glass or foul bearings and is frequently used to clean electric motors and machinery with hydraulic cylinders. Other applications include: smoke damage and residue clean-up; mould cleaning; plant maintenance; and loose and flaking paint removal. It is ideal for wood, aluminium and fiberglass substrates.
