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.

Glass Bead

The most widely used abrasive blasting bead, glass bead cleans away rust and surface residue from any material to leave a smooth, bright finish. It has a round shape to peen soft materials such as plastic and aluminum, though it’s not hard enough to peen steel and stainless steel.

Low Reusability—Effective for a handful of cycles under normal blasting conditions.

MIL-PRF-9954—This media meets strict standards for particle size, shape, and material quality. It's certified to remove enough scale, rust, and paint to prep metal surfaces.

SAE AMS2431/6D—Blast surfaces to a predictable, repeatable finish every time. This glass bead meets tighter tolerances for size, shape, and quality than bead rated MIL-PRF 9954.

Glass/Aluminum Oxide Grit

A mixture of glass bead and aluminum oxide grit, this media is less aggressive than pure aluminum oxide grit. It’s tough enough to clear away corrosion but gentle enough to etch aluminum and plastic without gouging them.

Low Reusability—Effective for a handful of cycles under normal blasting conditions.

Aluminum Oxide Grit

The grit you think of for sanding, grinding, and polishing. As abrasive blasting media, aluminum oxide grit does it all—from blasting away paint to frosting glass to deburring and etching metal. It’s hard and has sharp, angular edges for fast cutting. It won’t leave behind contaminants like steel grit, so it can be used on a wider variety of materials.

Low Reusability—Effective for a handful of cycles under normal blasting conditions.

MIL-A-59316—This grit meets strict standards for particle size, shape, and material quality. It’s certified to remove enough scale, rust, and paint that a metal surface is ready for processing.
