Brown Aluminum Oxide is a high-performance abrasive created through an electric arc furnace fusion process, resulting in a hard, durable, and long-lasting blasting media. Known for its sharp, angular grain structure, this abrasive is widely used for surface preparation, abrasive blasting, polishing, lapping, and finishing applications across multiple industries.
Its aggressive cutting action makes it highly effective for removing paint, rust, coatings, scale, and contaminants while creating a clean, etched surface ideal for powder coating, painting, bonding, and thermal spray applications. When used with abrasive recovery systems, Brown Aluminum Oxide can typically be recycled and reused multiple times, making it a cost-effective solution for industrial blasting operations.
Brown Aluminum Oxide is suitable for use on a variety of hard surfaces, including steel, stainless steel, ferrous metals, metal alloys, glass, ceramic, granite, marble, and stone. For applications requiring minimal contamination, white fused aluminum oxide is also available.
