Aluminum oxide is a general-purpose, loose grain abrasive that is used in abrasive blasting, polishing, lapping, or other finishing applications, and can be used on a variety of materials such as ferrous metal, steel, many metal alloys, stainless steel, glass, ceramic, marble, granite, stone, and other hard surfaces.

Garnet is a natural mineral abrasive used in a variety of blasting applications and for waterjet cutting. It has an angular-shaped grain and high bulk density which makes it a very aggressive abrasive with relatively low dust. Garnet has the cutting ability to reach the substrate, removing corrosion or coatings, and is ideal for use on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Blasting with glass beads allows the user to clean work pieces without significant surface removal. Due to its spherical shape, glass beads lend to a slow break down allowing for multiple turns and impacts. The wide range of sizes available in glass beads allows for a variety of surface finishing and cosmetic textures. Glass beads are also chemically inert and will not leave contamination or residue on surfaces.

Abrasive blast hoses are durable, flexible tubes designed to withstand high-pressure abrasion in blasting processes. Reinforced for resilience, they efficiently deliver abrasive media for precise industrial surface treatments.

Worn or cracked gloves should be replaced for operator safety. Gloves are available by the pair or by the individual, right or left glove. In cabinet blasting the left glove typically wears faster than the right, given that the blast gun is typically held in the right hand.

Cabinet blasting visibility starts at the window. A frosted or cracked window should be replaced for both operator safety and productivity. Blast cabinet windows should always be replaced with appropriate laminated safety glass.

Correct nozzle size, shape, and material play an integral part in efficient blasting. The blast pattern is determined by the size and shape of the nozzle, as well as the air pressure and media. A worn nozzle will consume more compressed air than properly sized air. Once the nozzle's bore has worn by more than 1/16th of an inch, the nozzle should be replaced.

Blast cabinet valves are crucial components in abrasive blasting systems, regulating media flow and controlling operations within enclosed cabinets. These valves are designed to withstand abrasion and high pressure and ensure precise control over airflow and media delivery for efficient surface treatment in industrial applications.

Respirators are essential in abrasive blasting, protecting workers from inhaling harmful particles and dust. Worn over the nose and mouth, they filter out airborne contaminants, ensuring workers breathe clean air during blasting operations, thus safeguarding their respiratory health and safety.
