Magnetization prevents removal of shot-blast dusts

Here it is... After shot blasting process, there is metal dust left on the material we blast because of magnetization. The problem is, I can not get rid of this even after iron phosphating process and this causes unexpected problems during vulcanization. Beside this, there is a restriction as not to use zinc phosphating. How can I get the best result without the treatment of zinc phosphating?
