Rust Removal, Surface Cleaning, Paint Stripping, and More

Airo Shot Blast specializes not only in advanced blasting machines but also in providing high-quality abrasive media that ensures precise, efficient, and cost-effective surface preparation. Abrasive media plays a crucial role in achieving the desired finish, cleaning, and surface texture for various industrial applications. Whether it’s rust removal, paint stripping, deburring, or polishing, the right abrasive media determines the quality of the final output.

We offer a wide range of abrasive materials that are carefully processed to meet international standards. Our abrasives are suitable for different blasting methods, including sand blasting, shot blasting, grit blasting, and air operated blasting.


What is Abrasive Media?

Abrasive media refers to granular materials used in blasting machines to clean, smooth, or shape surfaces. These materials vary in hardness, density, and size, making them suitable for different applications. Depending on the job requirements, abrasive media can be metallic or non-metallic, natural or synthetic.

- By striking the surface with controlled pressure, abrasives help:

  • - Remove unwanted contaminants (rust, scale, paint, grease).

  • - Prepare surfaces for painting, coating, or welding.

  • - Enhance adhesion by creating the right surface profile.

  • - Improve durability and extend the life of materials.
