Mined Starblast Sandblast Abrasive

Mohs Hardness: 7-8
Bulk Density: 90-105 lbs cuft

• Made of Spherical, Angular, Sub-Angular and Oval Shaped Abrasives
• Significantly Delays Flash Rust 
• Good replacement of Garnet - Cuts Faster (at all pressures tested) and Uses Less Abrasive to complete same job
• Beryllium and Free Silica Not Listed on SDS (not detected)

Mohs Hardness: 8-9
Bulk Density: 110 lbs cuft

• Hard and long lasting abrasives 
• Typically used in blast cabinet and rooms because of recyclability
• Used in Vibratory Media as a cutting agent 
• Aluminum oxide used as a grinding and polishing media
• Very hard and sharp abrasive

Mohs Hardness: 5.5-6.6
Bulk Density: 100 lbs cuft

• Made of 100% Recycled Glass 
• Safe For Use Around Water
• American Made 
• Contains less than 1% free silica 
• Non-reactive & inert

Mohs Hardness: 6.5-7
Bulk Density: 140 lbs cuft

• Used in Sandblast and Waterjet 
• Relatively Hard Mined Mineral
• Heavy Abrasive Requires Higher Pressures to be effective 
• Less than 10% Mined in the USA

Mohs Hardness: 7
Bulk Density: 160 lbs cuft

• Hard, Heavy good etching abrasive
• Breaks down in small angular pieces 
• Wear on nozzles and hoses
• Angular Shaped / Dark Grey or Black color

Mohs Hardness: 3-4.5
Bulk Density: 55 lbs cuft

• 100% Recycled Material 
• Good for coating removal without damaging the substrate 
• Military used Plastic Abrasive to replace toxic chemical stripping 
• Blast Cleaning, Deflashing and Deburring product
• Good abrasive to deburr machined aluminum parts
• Used in Mobile applications along with Blast Cabinets and Blast Rooms

• Consumption rate reductions of up to 30-percent vs Coal Slag 
• Faster cutting rates producing up to 50-percent less time on the job vs Coal Slag
• Reduction in cost per square foot of overhead and material expenditures vs Coal Slag 
• Velocity early testing shows speeds faster than Garnet and Coal Slag

Mohs Hardness: 8-9
Bulk Density: 125 lbs cuft

• White fused aluminum oxide is a very high purity oxide
• Used when contamination is an issue to be considered
• Very hard / sharp abrasive
• Highly friable compared to Brown Bluminum Oxide, so it will breakdown much faster
• Higher dust levels compared to Brown Aluminum Oxide

Mohs Hardness: 9
Bulk Density: 95 lbs cuft

• Hardest of Non-Metallic Abrasives
• Fast Cutting of Coatings 
• Silicon carbide is a ceramic material with an excellent hardness
• Hard brittle grains shatter on impact
• Lower recyclablity than Aluminum Oxide abrasive 
• Offer finer scratch patterns on most materials

Mohs Hardness: 8-8.5
Bulk Density: 145-150 lbs cuft

• Highest recyclability of all non-metallic abrasives
• Reuse 5-6X more than Aluminum Oxide - Reduced Abrasive Consumption
• Very Fast Cutting
• Very Low Dust
• Surface Cleaning, Surface Profile, Descaling and Deburring
• Reduced Disposal / Spent Abrasive Recycle Opportunities
