Brown Aluminum Oxide is a virgin grain, manufactured in an electric furnace that produces an extremely tough, long-lasting blasting grain which is graded to exacting standards. It may be repeatedly recirculated and is chemically stable and not affected by alkalies, acids or harmful atmospheres.
Aluminium oxides are fast and effective for removing rust, mill scale, paint, carbon deposits. Aluminium oxide media will remove residues from your substrate twice the speed as sand, without all the health risks. Aluminum Oxide media is excellent for antiskid, antislip flooring coatings, and an additive for epoxy floor systems.
