Pecan Shell

Crushed pecan shells make up a large percentage of the nut and serve as a very useful natural organic material for many applications. Pecan Shell is available in various sizes, from coarse to medium to fine. Pecan Shell Flour RS is an antioxidant fiber source ground to 325 mesh and optimized for maximum antioxidant content.
Detailed Particle Size Information

Pecan Shell 80 to 180 mesh

Typical Applications

Pecan shells are an excellent soft grit abrasive media used for blast cleaning, tumbling, and polishing and have a wide range of applications over broad industries including oil field equipment and rigs, compressors and compressor components, soft metals, wood plastics, fiberglass gun casings, jewelry and castings, and electronic and electrical critical parts and castings.

The oil industry uses the shell as lost circulation material.

Pecan Shells are used as a filter media and are one of the best materials for removing metals from water. Many waste treatment systems utilize them to produce clean water.

Pecan shells have been discovered as a great natural medium for athletic turf fields and mulch.

Packaging Options

50 lb. paper bags or 2,000 lb. super sacks.

Classification

Crushed Pecan Shell TSCA (SARA Title III) Status: Not listed. Pecan shell is an organic product and not subject to TSCA requirements. For further information, please call the E.P.A. Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP) at 202-564-2902

Sustainable Qualities

Pecan Shell powder and granules are a sustainable material that can be used in a variety of applications. Made from the outer shell of pecan nuts, this material is a byproduct of the food industry and is often considered waste. However, by repurposing this material, it can be used as a natural and eco-friendly alternative to synthetic materials. Pecan Shell Powder and granules are biodegradable, non-toxic, and renewable, making them an excellent choice for sustainable products. Additionally, using this material contributes to a circular economy by reducing waste and creating a closed-loop system where byproducts are repurposed into useful materials.

In addition to its sustainability benefits, Pecan Shell Powder and granules offer unique properties that make them attractive for various applications. They are lightweight, have good absorption and adsorption properties, and can be used as a natural abrasive or filler. Pecan Shell Powder and granules can be used in cosmetics, agriculture, and construction industries, among others. By incorporating this sustainable material into products, businesses can contribute to a circular economy while also providing eco-friendly solutions to consumers.

View Open Cell Metal Foam
Open Cell Metal Foam
Open cell metal foam, also known as reticulated foam, features 100% open cells with a homogenous structure. The open cells provide a path through the foam in any direction, allowing gas and liquids to pass at control flow rates and buffer pressure. Open foams have high surface area-to-volume ratios which offer large heat transfer rates. They are lightweight, with high compressive strength, stiffness, energy absorption, and low specific weight. Specific properties and applications vary based on foam material. The most popular open-cell metal foam products are Aluminum and RVC foam.
View Carbon Nanotubes
Carbon Nanotubes
Carbon nanotubes (CNT) are tubes made of carbon atoms with nanometer diameters. Reade supplies a variety of carbon nanotubes. While many specific properties of CNTs are type dependent, in general, carbon nanotubes have high electrical conductivity. They have good thermal conductivity along the tube axis that is comparable to diamonds while exhibiting elastic, flexible, stiff, tough, and strong fibers while maintaining the chemistry of carbon molecules and being free of molecular defects. This carbon chemistry allows strong Van der Waals attraction which leads to spontaneous self-assembly and roping of many nanotubes, which may be important in certain applications. Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT) are an intermediary allotrope of carbon between fullerene cages and flat graphene. Double-wall carbon nanotubes (DWNT) are similar to SWNT but are more resistant to chemical attacks. Multi-wall carbon nanotubes consist of multiple rolled layers of graphene. Dry powder form and dispersions available.

View Hemp Fiber
Hemp Fiber
Hemp Fiber (Bast Fiber) is a high-yield commercial fiber crop that grows from seed. Hemp stalks are harvested for their fibers and grow on the outside of the plant’s stalk, similar to the bark of a tree. Hemp fibers are advantageous as they are flexible, have low density and abrasiveness, and have mechanical properties comparable to glass fiber. There is also quantitative and qualitative homogeneity from one harvest to the next. Degummed Hemp Fiber is processed to remove lignin and pectin, so separated fibers are finer, softer, and more absorbent. Size ranges from ½ inch to 5 inches. Hemp Hurd is derived from the core of the hemp stalks and is also referred to as hemp shives. It looks similar to wood chips. It is porous and absorbent and naturally resistant to mold and bacteria. Raw Long Hemp Fiber is right from the stalk, non-processed, and uncombed with slight separation of fibers. Fibers range from 24 to 72 inches. Combed Hemp Fiber, also known as plumber's hemp, is untwisted and combed. Fiber length ranges from 4-5 inches long.
