It is an iron-bearing ore with traces of nickel.
Its chemical composition contains 19% free silica, so great care is needed and the use of operator protective equipment is mandatory.
With a hardness of > 6.5 Mohs, it has been the dominant abrasive used by blast operators for decades to clean all steel surfaces, because of its high cleaning speed.
In theory it reaches SA 2½ around 10%–20% faster than olivine.
It is classed as toxic waste and, by law, it must be collected and handed over to toxic waste management companies.
Its dark colour leaves black residue around the site after the job — the area needs cleaning up afterwards.
Because of its high iron content, the surface must be painted quickly so that it does not rust.
