Brown Aluminum Oxide (12)

Item Name:

Brown Aluminum Oxide (12)

SKU:

AB5034

Description:

Brown aluminum oxide is a synthetic abrasive material manufactured through the fusion of bauxite ore at extremely high temperatures. The 12 grit designation indicates a coarse particle size, making this abrasive particularly effective for aggressive cutting and material removal. This product is harder than most dry abrasive blast media, enabling it to cut through even the hardest metals with exceptional efficiency. Brown aluminum oxide maintains its hardness and cutting ability through multiple reuse cycles, making it an economical choice for sandblasting operations. Each order of one unit includes a 50 lb. box of material.

How it is used:

Brown aluminum oxide 12 grit is primarily used in sandblasting and abrasive blasting applications where aggressive material removal is required. The coarse 12 grit size excels at removing rust, scale, paint, and surface contaminants from metal surfaces. In glassblowing and related metalworking contexts, this abrasive is employed for preparing metal heat-treating equipment, cleaning torch components, and finishing metal work that complements glass art. The material can be recirculated and reused multiple times before becoming too fine for effective blasting, reducing overall material costs. Operators should use appropriate safety equipment including respiratory protection and eye wear when handling and blasting with this abrasive.

Dimensions:

When you order a quantity of one, you will receive one 50 lb. box.
