Usage & Typical Applications

Aluminum Oxide is commonly used where aggressive cleaning and profile are required — suitable for new steel, weld cleaning, and certain coating prep jobs. Adjust pressure and nozzle choice to balance consumption and production rate.

How to Choose the Right Grit Size?

Select the particle size based on desired profile and surface condition — finer grits for delicate surfaces, coarser grits for heavy rust/scale removal.
