Aluminum Oxide grit is carefully shaped and graded for pressure blasting applications. It is sharp and can be used and reused again. Absence of wasteful flats and slivers maximizes cutting efficiency in deburring, descaling, etching and surface smoothing applications. Low iron content reduces the danger of rust-staining to weather-exposed granite, marble and stainless steel.

White Aluminum Oxide has higher hardness and slightly lower toughness compared to brown aluminum oxide. It is characterized by its high purity, ability to self-sharpen, better cutting, lower heat emissions, higher efficiency, acid and alkali resistance and good thermal stability.

Coal Slag is a fast-cutting and a good general purpose abrasive that is tough enough to get the job done. Its angular shape and hardness quickly cut away existing coatings. Use Coal Slag on buildings, tanks, castings, ships, bridges, railroad equipment, structural steel, exposed aggregate and more.

Corn Cob is a resilient and durable abrasive that can clean, dry and polish a surface. Corn Cob granules are increasingly becoming the choice when the job calls for a softer, less dusty and environmentally safe abrasive.

Crushed glass is a 100% recycled material and delivers very low particle embedment which applies a whiter finish to the substrate. Formerly known as New Age.

Garnet is a hard and heavy abrasive that can increase productivity while reducing the amount of abrasive used. It offers the performance of synthetic and more expensive abrasives and is environmentally friendly.

Glass Beads are environmentally friendly and can be used in many blast applications to provide a finish with no profile. Use while working with metal, plastic or rubber materials to clean, debur and finish.

General applications of Plastic Media include powder coating removal, stripping aircraft and aerospace components, and removal of coatings from vehicles and vehicle parts. Different types of plastic media include:

• Type II - Urea

• Type III - Melamine

• Type V - Acrylic

Silicon Carbide blasting grit is designed for use on super hard metals, ceramics, glass and stone. Upon impact, grits shatter to form a continuous stream of sharp, new cutting edges.

Soda blasting uses large, sharp crystals of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) to effectively and safely remove paint, grease, process residue, or graffiti from brick, glass, rubber aluminum, galvanized metals, stainless steel, copper, engine parts or TEFC motors.

Soft Shot was developed for cleaning soft, delicate metal parts. It’s very durable and is made from virgin, premium-grade, cast steel shot. Soft Shot is good for cleaning, deburring and deflashing.

Steel scrap surcharge applies - see "Steel Scrap Surcharge" literature for more information.

Starblast® works great on light rust, brittle paint, mill scale and is an excellent abrasive for blasting new steel.

• Starblast - < 3% Free Silica (typically 2%)

• Starblast XL - < 1% Free Silica

• Starblast Ultra - < 5% Free Silica (typically < 3%)

Once Size (Ultra Slightly Larger)

Steel Grit works well in many tough applications. Common applications are railcars, structural steel and in foundries. Steel Grit is used in airblast rooms and airless wheel blast machines for surface preparation.

Steel Shot is commonly used in applications such as railcars, structural steel and foundries. It is also used in airless wheel blast machines for surface polishing and shot peening. Another common use is in portable trackblast airless wheel blast machines for profiling and concrete floor preparation.

Vibratory media comes in many sizes and shapes as well as different compositions such as porcelain, fused aluminum oxide, ceramic, and silicon carbide. Uses for this type of media include metal removal, surface improvement and high polishing. For use in vibratory finishing machines.

Walnut shell provides an excellent finish without scratching or pitting the surface. It’s relatively dust-free and can be used for deburring, deflashing and tumbling.
