Generic Aluminum Oxide 120 Grit - 10 LBS Medium to Fine Sand Blasting Media for Cabinets & Guns

Overview

Generic Aluminum Oxide 120 Grit is a high-density blasting media designed to deliver consistent results across metal and glass surfaces. Ranked just beneath diamond in hardness, its angular particles cut efficiently while still offering control. The 10 lb bag is suitable for both dry blasting cabinets and blasting guns, making it a flexible option for a range of prep and finishing tasks.

Key benefits at a glance

• Angular shaped particles provide strong cleaning and precise etching effects
• 120 grit size paired with Mohs hardness of 9 supports medium to fine finishing
• Compatible with dry blasting as well as wet blasting applications
• Commonly used for deburring, cleaning, etching and finishing of surfaces
• Glass can be etched with Aluminum Oxide, expanding its project possibilities

Workflow fit

Whether you’re preparing machined metal parts, tools, or decorative glass, this media supports surface prep before coatings, enhances texture, and reveals a clean edge. Its density enables effective material contact, potentially reducing cycle times while helping maintain surface integrity.

• Dry blasting to quickly remove burrs and residues
• Wet blasting to manage dust while maintaining material removal rates
• Versatile for deburring, cleaning, etching and finishing across materials

Real-world use cases

In practice, operators report smoother deburring of edges, crisper etched lines on glass, and more uniform texture prior to paint or coating. The 10 lb size is a practical starting point for evaluating performance on small to mid-size projects.

Safety and handling notes

Follow equipment guidelines and wear appropriate PPE. Use in a well-ventilated area, and contain dust and residues to support responsible handling and cleanup.
