    Abrasive Blasting Media for Delicate Materials

    Remove paint, coatings, and rust from delicate materials. Softer than other abrasive blasting media, this media cleans away contaminants without scratching or marring the underlying surface. It is a good choice for finishing soft metals, plastics, wood, or sensitive equipment.
    Our abrasive blasting materials are sorted from least to most aggressive. The more aggressive the media, the more material it removes from your surface.
    Both particle mesh size and grit measure the size of the abrasive particles. The higher the number, the finer the particles are.

    Slightly more aggressive than walnut shells and corn cob, plastic grit removes tougher coatings and buildup without marring and warping. It also stays effective for twice as many cycles as corn cob and walnut shells.
    Medium Reusability—Effective for dozens of cycles under normal blasting conditions.

    Cleaners for Tumbling

    Remove oil, grease, and other contaminants from your workpieces while tumbling. These cleaners trap debris as it’s removed so it won’t deposit onto your workpieces. They also act as a lubricant to improve media rolling and prevent scratches. Dilute with water, then add the solution to your media.
