Sintered Aluminum Oxide Sandblasting Abrasives, Order Online, More Economical than Brown Fused Aluminum Oxides 

PSI Information:

Sinterblast should be blasted at a 60psi in general.  This is a much lower psi than regular brown fused aluminum oxides (80-90), so please make a note of this.  You will not obtain ideal results if you do not start with a lower psi.  Sinterblast is slightly more friable than brown fused media, and this is why you need to use a lower psi.  Since you can reclaim this media multiple times, the cost savings of switching to Sinterblast can be impressive.  Some of our clients have switched 100% to Sinterblast (from brown fused aluminum oxide). 

Samples:

We will gladly send you a working sample so you can try this new blasting media out before purchasing.  We will need your ups account number to pay for the shipping costs.
