Steel Grit
Steel Grit is an angular, carbon steel media designed for quick and effective removal of surface contaminants and coatings. Steel Grit is softer than other media and is less likely to fracture leaving an etched finish.
Steel Grit
Steel Grit blast media is ideal for aggressive cleaning applications. Steel Grit will quickly strip many types of surface contaminants from steel and other foundry metals. Steel Grit is softer than Aluminum Oxide Grit and does not fracture as easily. The angular nature of Steel Grit produces an etched surface on metal for superior adhesion of paint, epoxy, enamel, rubber, and other coatings.
