Common Types of Blasting Abrasives

1. Steel Grit
Hard, angular, and aggressive. Excellent for heavy rust removal and creating a deep anchor profile for protective coatings. Recyclable multiple times in blast rooms.
2. Steel Shot
Round particles that clean without cutting as deeply. Good for peening (strengthening) metal surfaces and producing a smooth finish.
3. Garnet
Natural mineral abrasive, sharp and relatively hard. Popular for waterjet cutting and blasting where low dust and consistent performance are important.
