    • Aluminum Oxide-Brown 

    • Aluminum Oxide grit is carefully shaped and graded for pressure blasting applications. It is sharp and can be used and reused again. Absence of wasteful flats and slivers maximizes cutting efficiency in deburring, descaling, etching and surface smoothing applications. Low iron content reduces the danger of rust-staining to weather-exposed granite, marble and stainless steel.
