Aluminum Oxide Blasting Media Grit (Standard)
Aluminum Oxide Blasting Media Grit (Standard) is a sharp, long lasting abrasive media that is highly efficient and highly reusable. Harder than most blast media, Aluminum Oxide Blast Media, will clean and etch quickly on all type of surfaces.
Aluminum Oxide Blasting Media Grit (Standard)
An angular, durable blasting abrasive, Aluminum Oxide blast media (or aluminium oxide) can be recycled many times. It is the most widely used abrasive grain in sand blast finishing and surface preparation because of its cost, longevity, and hardness. Aluminum Oxide blasting media is harder than other commonly used blasting materials, aluminum oxide grit powder penetrates and cuts even the hardest metals and sintered carbide.
Aluminum oxide used as a grinding and polishing media is a cost effective and efficient media for tumbling operations that require quick edge rounding, surfacing finishing, or cleaning.
Approximately 50% lighter than metallic media, aluminum oxide blast media grains have twice as many particles per pound. The fast-cutting action minimizes damage to thin materials by eliminating surface stresses caused by heavier, slower cutting media.
Virgin, brown aluminum oxide blasting media contains less than 1.5% free silica and is therefore safer to use than sand. The grit size is consistent and cuts much faster than sand, leaving a smoother surface. Generally, the larger the grit size, the faster aluminum oxide blast media will cut.
