White aluminum oxide blast media is one of the most popular blast media used in abrasive blast cabinets today. Widely used as a cutting media. As a result, it can produce an anchor pattern in preparation for re-coating. Above all else, it removes heavy foreign matter, is used for deburring, and easily etches glass. It can also be used for lettering stone. Finally, it is extremely fast. And, it can be reused several times before discarding. White aluminum oxide blast media is also available in a variety of sizes.
NEVER use silica sand or any silica based media in ANY blast cabinet. We offer a broad variety of abrasive blast media specific for your project. Exposure to this silica is known to causes severe and often fatal damage to lung tissue. Therefore, DO NOT ever use silica sand in abrasive blast equipment. Again, we simply DO NOT recommend using sand in a “sandblasting†cabinet – there are too many safer alternatives.
