Abrasives
Expendable | Grade | Application | |
JBlast Standard | A synthetic mineral abrasive available in both Iron Silicate or Aluminium Silicate forms. Grain size 1.4 - 2.5mm | Provides a coarse etch or anchor pattern. Ideal for cleaning off heavily corroded steel, marine growth, heavy coatings. cement buildup and prior to metal spray. | |
JBlast Supa | A synthetic mineral abrasive available in both Iron Silicate or Aluminium Silicate forms. Grain size 0.2 -1.5mm | Gives high cleaning rate and etch acceptable for most industrial coatings e.g. ship's hulls, tank internals, pipe joints and general steel fabrications. | |
JBlast Supafine | A synthetic mineral abrasive available in both Iron Silicate or Aluminium Silicate forms. Grain Size 0.2-0.7mm | Provides a fine finish with a low profile for modern low build paints, selective coating removal, high performance wet blasting, motor body repairs etc. | |
JBlast Special | A synthetic mineral abrasive available in Iron Silicate form. Grain Size 0.15 -0.2mm | For cleaning surfaces where an etch or anchor pattern is not required. Ideal for decarbonising, fan blade cleaning, furniture restoration etc. | |
SC | A light coloured calcium silicate synthetic mineral abrasive | Typical application include wood, brick and masonry renovation etc. The only abrasive we recommend for green oak. | |
Stonegrit Coarse |
A Calcium Silicate synthetic mineral abrasive. Grain size 1.4 - 2.5mm |

Recyclable Abrasives | |||
Chilled Iron | Metallic iron abrasive available in 12 sizes from G2-G80 | Generally used in blastrooms, cabinets and closed circuit blasting systems. | |
Steel Shot | Tempered steel in a spheroidal form available in a range of sizes | Mainly used in airless blasting and for shot peening applications. | |
Aluminium Oxide | Virgin Brown & White fused aluminium Oxide supplied in sizes 14 to 220 mesh | Used for cleaning non-ferrous components, glass etching and providing a profile on stainless steel and aluminium | |
Glass Bead | Soda-lime silicate glass beads available in a range of 10 material sizes and a hardness of 6 moh. | Bead blasting a range of substrates to provide a cosmetic finish. | |
EnviraSponge | Sponge coated abrasive. | Sponge coated abrasive reduces dust generated during blast cleaning. Available in aluminium oxide and chilled iron types. | |
Specialist Abrasives | |||
Walnut Shells | 100% Vegetable and biodegradable | Used for decarbonising, polishing and mould and die cleaning. | |
Garnet | A hard natural mineral | For high performance blasting and sites requiring low dust levels. The coarser grades may be recycled a number of times. The smaller sizes are ideal for water jet cutting applications. | |
Calcium Carbonate | Fine carboniferous limestone | Ideal for paint stripping wooden frames and doors, stone cleaning and engine part cleaning. | |
Ferro Silicon | A synthetic abrasive with high iron and small aluminium oxide content | An aggressive and durable blasting media, also used as non slip surface or hardener additive. Can also be used for ballast. |
