Striplus Aluminum Oxide Sandblasting Medium #80 Grit 4lb Fine Grain

Description

Product Overview

The Striplus #80 grit aluminum oxide sandblasting medium is engineered for professional sandblasting applications where precision, consistency, and safety are paramount. Crafted from high‑purity (99.5%) aluminum oxide, each grain possesses a Mohs hardness of 9, delivering the aggressive cutting power needed to strip rust, paint, and scale from a wide variety of substrates. The fine, angular particles are sized to #80 grit, providing a balance between material removal speed and surface finish quality, resulting in a uniform satin appearance on metal, glass, stone, and even certain plastics. Packaged in a sealed, moisture‑resistant 4‑lb (1.8 kg) bottle, the medium stays dry and ready for immediate use in both gravity‑fed and pressure‑fed sandblasting equipment. Its low‑dust, silica‑free formulation protects both the operator’s respiratory health and the surrounding environment, while the high hardness and toughness of the grains allow for 6‑8 recycle cycles, dramatically lowering per‑job abrasive costs. Dimensions of the bottle (4.2 × 2.8 × 7.8 in) and a weight of 4.26 lb make it easy to handle, store, and transport on job sites of any size.

Usage

Designed for versatility, this medium excels in a range of sandblasting scenarios. Whether you are restoring classic automotive parts, preparing industrial steel components for coating, cleaning architectural stonework, or achieving a pristine finish on glass panels, the #80 grit aluminum oxide delivers reliable performance. The medium works equally well in cabinet‑style sandblasters, handheld pressure blasters, and portable abrasive blasting units, making it suitable for both workshop environments and field operations. Its low‑dust characteristic ensures clear visibility during the blasting process, allowing operators to monitor progress and avoid over‑blasting. The reusable nature of the grains means that after each job, the used media can be collected, screened, and re‑charged for subsequent use, extending the life of the abrasive and reducing waste. Ideal for professional sandblasters, restoration specialists, and hobbyists seeking a high‑quality, cost‑effective abrasive solution.

FAQ

What equipment can I use with this sandblasting medium?

The #80 grit aluminum oxide medium is compatible with most gravity‑fed and pressure‑fed sandblasters, including cabinet‑style units, handheld pressure blasters, and portable abrasive blasting systems.

Is this abrasive safe for use on glass and plastic surfaces?

Yes. The fine #80 grit size and angular shape allow for controlled removal without causing excessive surface damage, making it suitable for glass, acrylic, and certain engineered plastics when used with appropriate pressure settings.

How many times can I recycle this medium before it needs replacement?

Due to its high hardness (Mohs 9) and toughness, the medium can typically be reclaimed and reused for 6‑8 blasting cycles before performance begins to degrade.

Does the product contain any silica or hazardous materials?

No. The formulation is silica‑free, reducing health risks associated with inhalation of crystalline silica and complying with common workplace safety regulations.

What is the best way to store the medium to maintain its quality?

Keep the bottle sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The moisture‑resistant packaging helps prevent clumping, ensuring the abrasive remains ready for use whenever needed.
