Aluminum Oxide Sandblasting Media 250 Micron (60 Grit) – Single Tank Fill
Coarse Abrasive Media for Heavy Corrosion Removal & Aggressive Surface Preparation
The Aluminum Oxide Sandblasting Media – 250 Micron (60 Grit) is a coarse, fast-cutting abrasive designed for removing heavy rust, corrosion, scale, paint, coatings, and stubborn surface deposits. Its larger 250-micron particle size provides more aggressive cutting action than finer blasting media, making it ideal for durable metal parts and demanding restoration projects.
Packaged as a convenient Single Tank Fill, this media provides the proper amount for filling one compatible micro-abrasive blasting tank without requiring the purchase or storage of a large bulk container.

Important Restoration Notice
This is a coarse cutting abrasive that permanently removes surface material and can quickly alter fine details. Begin with the lowest effective pressure, keep the nozzle moving, and test on a common or non-critical item before working on a finished project.
This media is generally not appropriate for coins, thin metal, plated objects, delicate jewelry, fragile relics, or museum-quality artifacts. It may remove original patina, markings, plating, and historical surface details. Professional conservation advice is recommended before treating rare or irreplaceable objects.
Safety Information
Use only with proper ventilation or dust collection. Wear safety glasses, gloves, and suitable respiratory protection. Avoid breathing airborne abrasive dust and follow all equipment and media safety instructions.
