Extra Coarse
#14
-10m +18m
4
Great for heavy duty blasting, concrete, cathodic protection, etc.   Also used for blending stock in recycling blast operations.
Coarse
#16
-10m +40m
3.0 - 4.0
Use for heavy rust, barnacles and thick coatings.  Excellent for concrete, structural steel, tanks, barges, etc.  Used as a blending stock for recycling blast operations.
Coarse/Medium
#16/30
-10m +50m
3.0 - 4.0
A versatile blend of sizes for depainting and rust removal on tanks, bridges, shipyards, with better scouring npower for corners, pits and weld seams.
Medium/Fine
#30/50
-14m +60m
2.5 - 3.5
This workhorse blend is a great general abrasive for most depainting and rust removal, as well as blasting concrete for aggregate exposure, shipyard work, structural steel and tanks, etc.  Excellent for elastomeric coatings.
Medium/Fine
#35
-16m +60m
2.0 - 3.0
Finer blend designed to keep the scouring power of 30/50 while reducing the mil profile.
Fine
#50
-25m +70m
1.5 - 2.5
Remarkably fast and aggressive for all types of finer blasting requiring a smooth, clean finish.  Makes a good surface for powder coating.
Extra Fine
#60
-50m +90m
1.0 - 2.0
For smoother finishes on all types of substrates.  Excellent for aluminum, stainless steel, even fiberglass.  Cuts coatings—vinyl, epoxy and enamel easily.  Great for restoring cars, cleaning radiators and electrical motors, and parts cleaning.
Super Fine
#70
-60m +90m
1.5+
Lighter duty fine blasting on substrates requiring minimal etching or profile such as aluminum or fiberglass.  Excellent for cleaning welds and bolt heads, spot cleaning and restoration work.
Powder Fine
#105F
-80m +105
low
Extra fine cleaning, brightening, fine honing and deburring with almost no substrate damage.  Great for powerfully fast cleaning of graffiti, soft metals, tile and brick, and other applications where soda or fine grit are needed.
