Aluminum Oxide Sandblasting Media 50 Micron (220 Grit) – Single Tank Fill
Fine Abrasive Media for Precision Cleaning, Etching & Surface Preparation
The Aluminum Oxide Sandblasting Media – 50 Micron (220 Grit) is a fine-grade abrasive designed for controlled micro-abrasive blasting, delicate surface cleaning, etching, and finishing. Its consistent 50-micron particle size provides a finer, less aggressive cutting action than coarser blasting media, making it well suited for detailed work where precision and surface control are important.
Packaged as a convenient Single Tank Fill, this media provides the appropriate amount for filling one compatible micro sandblaster tank without requiring the purchase or storage of a large bulk container.

Important Restoration Notice
Aluminum oxide is a cutting abrasive that permanently removes surface material. Begin with low pressure, keep the handpiece moving, and test the media on a common or non-critical item before working on a finished project.
Abrasive blasting may permanently damage original surfaces, patina, plating, inscriptions, or fine details. Use extreme caution on collectible coins, valuable relics, archaeological objects, and historically significant artifacts. Professional conservation advice is recommended for rare or irreplaceable items.
Safety Information
Use only with appropriate ventilation or dust collection. Wear safety glasses and suitable respiratory protection, and avoid breathing airborne abrasive dust. Follow all equipment and media safety instructions.
