Below is a basic introduction to some of the most common blasting abrasives. Refer to magazines, trade articles, professionals, and the abrasive manufacturer for the specific surfaces that can be addressed with a type of abrasive. All abrasives have benefits and drawbacks like quality of sur- face finish, abrasive life, toxicity, and what pre- cautions you must take to prevent environmental damage or personal injury to your respiratory system.

Steel Type Abrasives

This aggressive abrasive creates a rough fin- ish that accepts paint well. The abrasive is very durable and has a long life, however; it MUST be kept very dry to prevent rusting.

Alumina Type Abrasives

This multi-purpose abrasive creates a smoother finish than the steel abrasives, but has a shorter life span. Less of the workpiece surface is removed with this more forgiving abrasive.

Glass and Garnet Type Abrasives

Typically this abrasive works well for soft met- als and addressing surface issues with machine parts where tolerances cannot be affected. The life of this abrasive is limited and not well suited for repetitively recycling.

Sand Type Abrasives

This abrasive is easy to find, and gives an aver- age finish that is acceptable for most projects. Sand has a good recycling life and is very eco- nomical.

Plastic Type Abrasives

Applied at low pressures of 30 to 50 PSI, plas- tic abrasives should be harder than the coating being removed, but softer than the workpiece to avoid damage. Plastic abrasive is excellent for addressing surface issues on aluminum, mag- nesium, copper, brass, thin steel, titanium, and

composite surfaces and fiberglass.

Other Types of Abrasives Available

Ground walnut or peanut shells.

Ground corn cob.

Sodium bicarbonate.

Wheat starch.
