Stainless steelshot are typically used for processes like shot peening and abrasive blasting, where the goal is to impart a compressive residual stress on the surface of metallic materials. These shots are not designed for use with non-metallic materials, and using them on such materials may not yield the desired results.

Non-metallic materials, such as plastics, ceramics, and composites, have different properties and responses to various treatments compared to metals. Using stainless steel shots on non-metallic materials may not provide the intended benefits and could potentially cause damage or alter the material in unintended ways.

If you are working with non-metallic materials and need to modify their surface properties or achieve a specific finish, it’s essential to use abrasives or techniques suitable for those materials. For example, abrasive blasting with materials like sand, glass beads, or plastic media might be more appropriate for non-metallic surfaces.

Always check the manufacturer’s guidelines and recommendations for the specific abrasive or shot media you intend to use, and ensure that it is compatible with the material you are working on to achieve the desired results without causing damage.
