MSDS aluminum oxide

Brown Aluminum Oxide

This abrasive is made with a mixture of bauxite and other materials that are electrically fused and crystallized under high temperature in an arc furnace. Brown Aluminum Oxide’s hard, tough shape makes it perfect for grinding wheels, cutting wheels, sharpening stones, and abrasive media. It is also suitable as blasting material for cleaning machinery, surface grinding, and polishing.

White Aluminum Oxide

This product has greater hardness, but is not quite as tough as brown. Its high purity and hardness produce better cutting, less heat, higher efficiency, acid/alkali resistance, and good thermal stability. It is suitable for high-speed grinding, polishing, precision casting, and coating.

Glass Beads

Manufactured from lead-free, soda lime glass, glass beads produce a smoother, brighter finish than angular abrasives and can be reused approximately 30 times. Glass Beads are chemically inert and environmentally friendly.

Glass Bead Blasting

This blasting technique produces a clean, bright, satin finish, without changing the dimensions of parts. Glass beads are primarily used in blasting cabinets and are available in a wide range of sizes. Applications include honing, peening, polishing, blending, finishing, removing burrs, and cleaning. For delicate parts, peening with glass bead abrasive material provides the right balance of stress relief without causing damage.

Plastic Media

This non-aggressive granulated plastic abrasive is used for coating removal and stripping, cleaning, deburring and deflashing. Plastic Media can be used on soft or thin substrates, aluminum, fiberglass, composites, and delicate parts without damaging them.

Garnet

Garnet abrasive is manufactured for waterjet cutting and sandblasting applications. Its natural, angular form makes it a popular abrasive. It is environmentally friendly and low-dusting, due to its durable crystalline structure. Garnet is perfect for tile cutting, countertops, stone cutting, food processing equipment, glass cutting, Kevlar cutting, aluminum cutting, and stainless steel cutting.
