All media blasting techniques work according to a basic concept: small moving particles collide with a surface at high speed and remove surface particles or etch or peen the surface itself. Specific blasting media vary dramatically in terms of their intended purpose and method. One use of sandblasting media is to remove impurities prepare the surface in advance of paint or coating application.

Most abrasive finishing companies originally made use exclusively of silica particles for Sandblasting . Still, as research uncovered health risks associated with long-term exposure to the dust created by silica blasting, alternative media were developed abrasive finishing company. These abrasive blasting media, while minimizing health risks, were also discovered to outperform silica media in many applications.

Choosing the right abrasive blast media and the right abrasive finishing company is essential to finish surface preparation for paint or coating application. The following media types are available with various applications according to their hardness, size and abrasiveness.
