Steel Grit Blast Media - 25 lb Bag

Steel grit aggressively removes rust, mill scale, and old coatings from steel and iron surfaces. The angular particles cut a deep anchor profile that improves adhesion for subsequent paint, primer, and powder coating applications. It is the fastest-cutting media for heavy corrosion on ferrous metals.

No. Steel grit is too hard and aggressive for aluminum and will embed iron particles in the aluminum surface, causing galvanic corrosion. Steel grit is for ferrous metals only. For aluminum, use glass bead, melamine, plastic grit, or coral blast depending on the surface finish required.

Yes. Steel grit is highly durable and recyclable many times before the particles break down. The angular shape maintains cutting effectiveness through multiple cycles. A media classifier removes broken-down fines between cycles. Steel grit has one of the longest media lives of any blast abrasive.

Steel grit produces a deep angular anchor profile on steel surfaces. The profile depth depends on grit size, blast pressure, and dwell time. This deep profile is specifically what industrial coating systems require for maximum adhesion. Deeper profiles hold more coating material per square inch.

Steel Grit 25 lb is priced at $152.63 (SKU 40109). Ships in stock from Creative Coating Solutions. Angular steel particles for aggressive rust removal and deep surface profiling on steel and iron. Recyclable for extended media life and lower per-job cost.
