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
Typical applications include brick and masonry renovation etc.
Stonegrit Fine A Calcium silicate synthetic mineral abrasive
Grain size 0.2 - 1.5mm
Ideal for the removal of old coatings and heavy grime on natural stone and brick facing, decorative effects on masonry cleaning and restoration work.
Stonegrit Extrafine A Calcium Silicate synthetic mineral abrasive.
Grain Size 0.2 - 0.7mm
Suitable for natural stone and brick face cleaning. Also the cleaning of special finished surfaces such as stainless steel, aluminium and others.
GreenBlast / Glass Grit Produced from recycled bottle bank glass available in two sizes
Grain size: 0.2 - 2.5mm
Developed for use on ornate or soft stonework and removal of graffiti from decorative panels.
Aquagrit A controlled mixture of inert recycled products Can be used on most substrates.
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.
