Silicon Carbide Abrasive Price
Silicon Carbide is the highest-quality abrasive in our line – stays sharper and lasts longer than any other abrasive. This abrasive is the favorite for glass etching due to its high quality and ability to be recycled over and over again. Grit Size 80, gray color.
(NOTE: Due to the fast cutting action of this abrasive, nozzles, pickup tube, power head, vac bag, vac motor, and other cabinet components may wear rapidly.)
TECH TIP: When using a Skat Blast Cabinet, a variety of dry abrasives can be used. Generally, the higher the grit number, the finer the abrasive. The finer the abrasive, the smoother the finish. Coarse-grit abrasives cut fast, but the finish isn’t as smooth as fine-grit abrasives.
We stock a variety of long-wearing abrasives, each formulated to obtain a desired finish. Experiment with each to discover which works best for your application, or call our tech line: 330-533-3384, Ext. 22.

Recycled Crushed Glass Blast Media
What is it?
Crushed glass blasting media is an engineered “sandblasting” media manufactured from 100% Recycled Bottle Glass. Crushed glass can be used as a direct replacement for most hard abrasives, including silica-sand, Olivine, lava, coal slag (aka Black Beauty), and aluminum oxide. Crushed Glass is approved for use in numerous federal and state government agencies, and military branches.
Eco and Operator-friendly Blasting Media
100% recycled glass eliminates the health risk of airborne carcinogens. It is non-hazardous, non-toxic and completely inert, so is safe to use around water. Glass dust is classified by OSHA/NIOSH as only ”nuisance” dust because it contains less than 1% free silica. Glass also does not contain virtually any of the OSHA identified Heavy/Toxic Metals associated with slags and some other mineral abrasives like Olivine. Lastly, since glass is translucent, visibility and productivity are significantly improved when compared to a blast environment using traditional hard abrasives.
How can glass be silica-free?
Recycled bottle glass is chemically known as Amorphous Silica. Free-silica is commonly found in traditional blasting sand and other hard abrasive sandblasting medias. Silica-sand dust in its natural state has an “open”crystalline structure that has the capability of sticking to lung tissues. When this happens, the likelihood of developing a serious respiratory disease called Silicosis increases. Because our recycled glass blast media is amorphous, its crystalline structure is “closed”, which makes it impossible to physically stick to human lung tissue. When a person is exposed to amorphous glass fines or dust, the body will expel the dust as it would any other type of natural dirt.
Benefits of Glass Blasting
In addition to worker safety benefits, crushed glass delivers a natural, whiter metal finish than many other sandblasting abrasives, and significantly decreases embedment issues梪p to 5 times less than slag blast media. Glass works great for removing thick, tough coatings, and numerous surface preparation applications � glass can create a profile of up to 4 mils on hardened steel. Glass is versatile, and can be used as a dry blasting media or combined with water for use in slurry blasting machines.
SAVE MONEY TOO! Crushed glass is less dense than other sandblasting medias. This means greater productivity due to more blast time between pot refills AND less material will be used, which reduces both disposal and media costs.

Melamine Plastic Blast Media
Melamine is the most “aggressive” of the three media provided by Solidstrip. As such it tends to be used in applications where the material being stripped or cleaned is at the harder end of the plastic media. Being softer than both tool steel and chromed moulds it is widely used for tool cleaning, with the benefit that sharp edges are retained and the tools useable life extended.
Melamine is used widely in industry for the cleaning of circuit boards, and for deburring, dejuking and deflashing.
Melamine can be considered as a media that sits between mineral based abrasives and natural products such as walnut shell. It is an aggressive media that carries the dual benefits of good cleaning/stripping efficiency with no damage to the underlying material.

Acrylic Blast Media
Acrylic blast media is the softest available, and is used in a number of areas where there is a need to remove dirt and paint from delicate thin sheet composites and exotic materials. It can be used on fibreglass, carbon-graphite and other resin based components with out causing damage. For this reason it has been adopted widely by the aerospace industry for the removal of paint from an aircraft’s fuselage, and cleaning of parts prior to inspection.
It has been proven to be cheaper to use, and produces less toxic waste, than chemical stripping. Research on behalf of the US Airforce demonstrated a saving of $915,000 per annum when using plastic media compared to chemical stripping.

Plastic Media Stripping
The ability to remove coatings selectively on a layer-by-layer basis while providing protection to delicate underlying substrates has been the hallmark of plastic media striping. Developed in the mid to late 1980’s by the US Military, an array of plastic media types has been developed and, today, is used in everything from aircraft paint stripping to mould tool cleaning and bridge and station refurbishment.
With newer innovations in mobile wet blasting techniques using our cyclone wet blasting system, the ability to remove coatings, such as plastisol from building cladding, with less noise, dust and waste, and with lower operating pressures, brings all the advantages of plastic media stripping into the open nozzle era.
Urea Plastic Blast Media
Avialite Type II – Urea Plastic Blast media (3.5 moh; 54-62 Barcol Hardness)
Avialite Type II - Urea Plastic Blast media is typically the most popular and versatile of the plastic medias. Manufactured from fully-cured recycled amino mouldings.
Avialiote Type II plastic blast media can be used in wet or dry blasting environments, and is the middle hardness of the thermo-set plastic medias, which also includes Mac’Ants products – Avialite Type III and Type V.
The material allows the controlled removal of surface coatings, paint , dirt, flash and burr from a variety of substrates, without damaging or peening the substrate, and at the correct pressures and conditions can achieve as much as a 6-12x recycle usage of the plastic media.
This is due to the random ‘blocky/angular’ shape of the particle, and its thermoset qualities which will not shatter on impact and will rather ware down.
Optimum performance, is gained at relatively low pressures – typically 15-40 psi (1-3 bar) – lower than is used for many other blast media’s, and hence offers environmentally friendly solutions with regards to recycling of the product and by using very low air pressures .
All Avialite Type II media is manufactured to high aviation (ROLLS ROYCE CSS227), and military (US MILITARY P-85891A) sieving and hardness specifications, (Full US Military P-85891a first article testing is available on request to comply with our Mil Spec registration), and as such can be used in the following industries.
- Military
- Automotive
- Electronics
- Graffiti Removal
- Aerospace
- Tyre & Rubber Applications
