About Abrasive Blasting Media

Compare abrasive blasting media hardness to find the best one for your application.

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.

Stainless Steel Shot

Just as aggressive as steel shot but with better corrosion resistance and durability. Unlike steel, this shot cleans and peens stainless steel, brass, and other nonferrous metals without contaminating them with iron. It also stays effective for twice as many cycles as steel shot. This high-impact shot isn’t recommended for removing paint from aluminum and plastic.

Very High Reusability—Effective for thousands of cycles under normal blasting conditions.
