Blasting Media

Abrasives-Aluminum Oxide

Aluminum oxide is a sharp long lasting abrasive used for finishing and cleaning. It has a fast-cutting action which minimizes damage to thin materials. It is durable and can be recycled many times.

Aluminum oxide is a high-quality abrasive that does not dull quickly. It leaves a smooth flat, coarse-textured finish and is longer lasting and considerably more aggressive than Glass Beads

Applications Include:

• Cleaning Engine Heads
• Valves
• Pistons
• Turbine Blades

Glass Beads

Glass Beads smoothly blends away surface defects. A finer, smoother non-glare finish is achieved with smaller spheres, while larger spheres produce a more textured finish.

• Special effects are easily achieved through simple masking before the blasting process.
• Finish is reproducible, time after time.
• Improves lubrication
• Improves adhesion capabilities

Steel Shot/Steel Grit

Steel shot and steel grit are reclaimable Medias used mainly in blast cabinets.

Steel Shot is ideal for peening applications to impart a clean, smooth and polished finish.

Steel Grit is an angular carbon steel designed for quick and effective removal of surface contaminants from metals.

Steel Shot or Steel Grit Applications include:

• Shot Blasting
• Shot Peening
• Cutting
