S.L. Fusco supplies a wide range of loose grain and blasting abrasives designed for surface preparation, cleaning, etching, and finishing across a variety of materials and industries.
Blasting abrasives, also known as blast media, are granular materials propelled at high speeds in abrasive blasting operations to remove rust, paint, scale, or contaminants from metal, concrete, and other surfaces. The type of abrasive used depends on the application, surface hardness, finish requirements, and equipment used.
Common types of blasting media include:
- Aluminum Oxide – a durable, reusable abrasive ideal for metal prep and surface profiling
- Glass Bead – used for gentle cleaning and producing a smooth, bright finish
- Silicon Carbide – one of the hardest abrasives, ideal for fast cutting on hard surfaces
- Steel Shot and Grit – commonly used in heavy-duty industrial and automotive applications
- Crushed Walnut Shells or Corn Cob – soft abrasives for delicate surfaces like wood or aluminum
At S.L. Fusco, our team helps you choose the right blasting media for your substrate, equipment, and outcome goals, ensuring optimal efficiency, reduced media waste, and consistent surface results.
