Choosing the correct sandblasting sand or media for a sandblaster is extremely important as each type of media has its own characteristics.
Versatile and cost effective, aluminum oxide is the most common blasting media for a wide range of purposes in nearly every industry. It’s quite durable, meaning it doesn’t tend to break apart on impact, which produces less dust during blasting.
Common applications:
- Fine surfacing of metal and other hard materials
- Rough surface prep
- Paint removal
- Glass etching
- Abrading
- Bracket adhesive removal
- Deburring and deflashing of metals and other hard materials
- Aggressive cleaning/removal of materials for a semi-rough finished surface
- Bulk removal or surface cleaning of tough materials
