    Abrasive Blasting Media

    Remove paint, coatings, and rust or add texture to surfaces. This media is suitable for use on a wide variety of surface materials.
    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.

    Also known as black diamond, this media is the most widely used grit-style abrasive. Known for its use in sandblasting, its sharp, angular shape etches a wide range of surfaces. It won’t leave behind contaminants. A lower-cost alternative to Black Beauty grit, it produces a less uniform finish. It’s not recommended for removing paint from aluminum and plastic.
    Not Reusable—Typically only effective the first time it's used.
    MIL-A-22262B—This grit meets strict standards for particle size, material quality, and hazardous waste. It’s certified to remove enough scale, rust, and paint to prep metal surfaces and doesn’t contain more than 1% free silica.
