    Hard Abrasive Blasting Media for Heavy Removal

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Abrasive Blasting Media.
    These abrasives penetrate deep and work fast for rapid and aggressive removal. Particle mesh size is the number of holes in a 1"-square screen. As the mesh number gets larger, the number of holes per inch increases, the size of each individual hole decreases, and the media becomes finer. Grit refers to coarseness; the lower the number, the coarser the grit.
    Aluminum Oxide Grit—Sharp, hard, and durable, it prepares surfaces for coating. It also frosts glass.
