About Brown Aluminum Oxide 16 Mesh
Brown Aluminum Oxide (BFA) is a tough, dense abrasive produced by fusing calcined bauxite in an electric arc furnace. The 16 mesh grade is a coarse grit, widely used where fast stock removal and deep anchor profiles are required. Its angular particle shape and high friability make it suitable for both single-pass blasting and controlled recycling in blast rooms and cabinets.
This abrasive is compatible with standard air blast equipment, pressure pots, and suction cabinets. It is commonly specified for removing mill scale, rust, and old coatings from structural steel, preparing metal surfaces for painting or thermal spray, and creating a uniform profile on hard substrates.
Key Characteristics
- Hardness: High Mohs hardness (typically 9) for aggressive cutting action.
- Particle Shape: Angular and blocky, providing a sharp profile on impact.
- Recyclability: Can be reused multiple times in contained blasting systems, lowering media consumption cost.
- Low Iron Content: Suitable for applications where ferrous contamination must be controlled.

Applications
Common industrial uses for this abrasive.
Steel Surface Preparation
Removes mill scale, rust, and old coatings from structural steel, plates, and fabrications before painting or coating.
Blast Room & Cabinet Recycling
High recyclability makes it cost-effective for contained blasting environments where media is recovered and reused.
Profile Creation for Coatings
Generates a uniform angular profile on metal substrates, improving adhesion for industrial paints, thermal spray, and rubber linings.
Foundry & Casting Cleaning
Cleans castings and removes sand, scale, and burrs without excessive metal removal.
