Description
Premium Aluminum Oxide - 60 grit - 4 lbs - Blasting Cabinet Abrasive Media. Condition is New. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.Aluminum Oxide
Synthetic Aluminum Oxide is a silica-free, inert compound with a tough, crystalline structure and a uniform hardness of 9 on the MOHS scale (Diamond is 10). It performs as an excellent blast cabinet media where the grit is contained for re-use, capable of up to 30 or more reuses. These properties combined with uniform particle sizing provide
high-speed production
with
excellent visibility
(very low dusting) and
lower air requirements
. Unlike most other blast media, which are natural or by-products, synthetic Al

has uniform properties without random natural weaknesses, making it the most widely used abrasive in the world.
Our aluminum oxide (
Econoblast
TM
) is a special blend of white, pink, and brown aluminum oxides, as well as other abrasives that makes for a tougher and more economic choice in many applications. It performs as well as, if not better than, white aluminum oxide in most cases. It is a very environmentally-friendly product that is made from recycled grinding wheels otherwise destined for the landfill.
Why Use Aluminum Oxide?
Most popular abrasive media for cabinet blasting
Most extensive range of grit sizes
Good recyclability
Precisely graded into specific sizes
Usable at lower air pressures, reducing compressed air costs
