Generic Aluminum Oxide 10 LBS – 80 Grit Sand Blasting Media for Cabinets & Guns

Premium abrasive for versatile blasting tasks

Generic Aluminum Oxide 80 Grit is a tough, dense abrasive that delivers consistent material removal on metal and glass surfaces. Known as the next hardest mineral after diamond, it combines high density with angular particles to cut efficiently and leave refined edges.

Designed for use in both dry and wet blasting workflows, this 80 grit media supports deburring, cleaning, etching, and finishing. In practice, you may notice sharper edges, cleaner tool marks, and a distinctive etched texture on a variety of substrates, including glass. The media is packaged in a 10 pound bag, making it easy to portion for ongoing projects and casual hobby work alike.

Key benefits at a glance
