    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 Shot

    The most common abrasive for heavy duty cleaning and peening jobs. Rounded like glass but harder and denser, this shot blasts away heat-treated scale, heavy forgings, and other stubborn irregularities while leaving a uniformly peened finish. It also lasts for 500 times more cycles than glass, so it’s perfect for abrasive blasting cabinets and other systems that let you reuse your media.
    High Reusability—Effective for hundreds of cycles under normal blasting conditions.
