Aluminium Silicate 46 mesh

About Aluminium Silicate 46 Mesh Abrasive

Aluminium Silicate 46 mesh is a synthetic silicate abrasive formulated to deliver consistent, high-quality surface preparation results. Its controlled chemistry and angular particle shape contribute to a fast cleaning action while minimizing embedment and surface damage. This makes it a reliable choice for professionals who need a predictable surface profile before coating, painting, or lining.

This media is commonly used as a direct replacement for mineral slags and silica sand, offering a cleaner, lower-dust blasting environment. The 46 mesh grade represents a medium particle size distribution, suitable for general-purpose blasting where a balance between stock removal rate and surface finish is required. It is compatible with standard sandblasting pots, blast rooms, and wheel blast machines.

Key Features and Benefits

• Synthetic composition: Free from crystalline silica, reducing health risks associated with silica sand blasting.
• Angular profile: Sharp-edged particles provide a high cleaning rate and an anchor profile suitable for coating adhesion.
• Medium 46 mesh grade: Offers a controlled particle size distribution for consistent blasting performance and surface finish.
• Low dust generation: Engineered to produce less airborne dust compared to coal slag or copper slag, improving operator visibility and site safety.
• Recyclability: Suitable for multiple blast cycles in contained or reclaim systems, lowering overall media consumption and disposal costs.

Typical Applications

This 46 mesh abrasive is specified across various industries for surface preparation tasks. Common uses include removal of mill scale, rust, and old coatings from structural steel, preparation of metal surfaces before powder coating or painting, and cleaning of castings and forgings in foundries. It is also used in the maintenance and refurbishment of industrial equipment, tanks, and pipelines.

Contractors and maintenance teams select this media for both field blasting with portable equipment and fixed installations like blast rooms and automated wheel blast systems. Its versatility across different blasting methods makes it a practical inventory item for job shops and multi-purpose facilities.
