Aluminum Oxide 80 Grit - 10 LBS | Medium-Fine Sand Blasting Media for Cabinets & Guns

Overview

Aluminum Oxide 80 Grit is a dense, angular blasting media designed for tough surface prep. With a Mohs hardness of 9, it sits just below diamonds in hardness, enabling efficient material removal on metals and glass with controlled aggressiveness. This 10 lb bag is suitable for both blasting cabinets and portable blasting guns, offering reliable performance in dry or wet workflows.

What makes it stand out

• Angular shaped particles for thorough cleaning and purposeful etching
• 80 grit size for medium to fine material removal
• High density plus resilience powers fast, consistent results
• Versatile use in wet or dry blasting
• Glass will also be etched with proper technique

Use cases and tips

Whether you’re deburring sharp edges, cleaning away residues, or preparing a surface for finishing, Aluminum Oxide 80 Grit offers a dependable balance of aggressiveness and control. In practice, you might start with a gentle pass to profile the surface, then increase exposure for deeper cleaning. For glass etching, adjust pressure and distance to achieve the desired texture.

• Deburring: refine edges on metal parts to remove burrs and tool marks
• Cleaning and finishing: strip oxidation, clean up casting marks, and prepare for coating
• Etching: create matte textures or patterns on glass or coated surfaces
• Wet or dry blasting: adapt to your equipment and job requirements

Practical considerations

Store in a cool, dry place to maintain particle integrity. With dry blasting, ensure proper ventilation and PPE. For wet blasting, follow compatible fluid guidelines and machine specs.
