    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.
    Steel Grit

    A more aggressive alternative to steel shot, steel grit blasts harder and leaves a rougher finish thanks to its sharp, angular edges. It digs below the surface to remove material, which is why it’s commonly used to strip paint, remove rust and scale, and prep surfaces for coatings to bond to. However, you should only use it on steel and iron surfaces because it will leave iron behind that could contaminate other materials.
