Due to its high toughness (low friability), brown fused aluminum oxides are recommended for use in bonded abrasives such as grinding wheels and cutoff wheels, coated abrasives (paper & cloth), sandblasting abrasives, as well as refractory applications. Aluminum oxides are fast and effective for removing rust, mil scale, paint, carbon deposits. Aluminum oxide media will remove deposits from your substrate at twice the speed as sand, without all the health risks. Aluminum Oxide media is great for antiskid, anti-slip flooring coatings and as an additive for epoxy floor systems.
