Why Choose Aluminum Oxide 16 Mesh for Blasting?
The 16 mesh particle size is a coarse, fast-cutting grit. Its angular shape and high hardness (typically 9 on the Mohs scale) make it ideal for creating a sharp, deep profile on steel and other hard metals. Unlike expendable slags, Aluminum Oxide has a high recycle rate, often allowing for multiple blast cycles in wheel blast machines or contained air blast rooms. This significantly reduces media consumption and waste disposal costs over the life of a project.
This abrasive is commonly used in air blast systems with a venturi nozzle for spot repair work, or in wheel blast machines for continuous processing of structural steel. It produces a clean, white-metal finish when used correctly, meeting stringent surface preparation standards.

Applications
Common industrial uses for this abrasive.
Surface Profiling for Coatings
Creates a sharp, deep anchor pattern on steel substrates to ensure maximum adhesion of high-build paints, thermal spray coatings, and industrial linings.
Rust and Mill Scale Removal
Aggressively removes heavy rust, thick mill scale, and tough corrosion from structural steel, bridges, and heavy machinery components.
Foundry and Casting Cleaning
Efficiently cleans cast iron and steel castings, removing sand, scale, and burrs without excessive metal removal.
Wheel Blast Machine Operations
High durability and recyclability make it a cost-effective media for continuous-feed wheel blast machines in fabrication shops.
