Coal Slag
Coal Slag is used when paint and rust has to be removed from steel, such as
Car bodies, tanks or heavy machinery. Coal Slag is superior to silica because
it only has 0.1% free silica, is faster cutting, can be re-used, is moisture free, and
will not pack or absorb moisture.
Steel Grit
Steel grit is extremely fast cutting on rusty metal and hard to remove paint. Steel
Grit is popular because it leaves a very smooth finish. It is also comparable in
Price to most other specialty abrasives. Steel Grit is recommended in reclaim
Systems or cabinets.
Glass Bead
Glass Bead is used in creating a satin or matte finish. Glass Bead is
recommended in reclaim systems or cabinets.
Aluminum Oxide
Aluminum Oxide is a high quality abrasive that is sharper than sand (not
recommended) and cuts twice as fast as sand. It leaves a smooth textured finish
with no pits. Aluminum Oxide is rougher than glass bead and can be
used over and over again. It is one of the most economical abrasives you can
use in any reclaim systems or cabinets.
Plastic Grit
Primarily used to strip aluminum and fiberglass. Great for stripping paint. Light
oxidation and surface rust. Recommended for use is blast cabinets because it
creates very little dust. Works quickly, last a long time and increases visibility
within the cabinet.
