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: 6-6.5
Bulk Density: 130 lbs cuft
Mined Staurolite Sands
Round and Subangular Shaped Media
Coating and Rust Removal
Tests have show it to breakdown faster and produce more dust than Garnet, Crushed Glass and Coal Slag
Starblast™ guaranteed to contain <3% free silica, typically <2%
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
