Econoblast "E" - Aluminum Oxide
(Blast Cabinet Abrasive)
Econoblast
TM
is an excellent media for use in blast rooms or blast cabinets, where the grit is contained for re-use (
up to 30 or more re-uses
).
Synthetic
(man-made) Aluminum Oxide is a silica free inert compound, with a tough crystalline structure, and a uniform hardness of 9 on the MOHS scale (Diamond is 10). These properties combined with uniform particle sizing provide
high-speed production
with
excellent visibility
(very low dusting), and
lower air requirements
(60 to 80 psi recommended). Unlike most other blast media, which are natural or by-products, synthetic AO has uniform properties without random natural weaknesses, making it the most widely used abrasive in the world. When using aluminum oxide for blasting, it is
strongly recommended to use tungsten or boron carbide nozzle
.

Econoblast "E" - Aluminum Oxide
(Blast Cabinet Abrasive)
Our
Econoblast
TM
is an Eco-Friendly aluminum oxide abrasive, produced by recycling vitrified bonded grinding wheels. This abrasive has a proven 80+ year history as a seamless substitute, for many applications using virgin aluminum oxide. Econoblast is a precisely graded blend of premium, white, pink, ruby, ceramic and other high purity aluminum oxide grains, otherwise destined for landfills.
Excellent media for use in blast rooms or blast cabinets, where the grit is contained for re-use (
up to 30 or more re-uses
).

For every pound of Econoblast sold - two pounds of "Red Mud" Sludge are prevented from being generated!
For Your Information (
FYI
)
White, pink, ruby, and ceramic aluminum oxides, known as specialty aluminum oxide abrasives, are produced via the "Bayer Process". This process, also used to make aluminum metal, requires the
use of caustic soda
(lye), and generates a dangerous sludge byproduct called
"Red Mud".
For every ton of high purity alumina produced, 2 or more tons of red mud are generated. The US EPA estimates over
three billion tons of red mud are being stored around the world
. In October 2010 one of the storage sites collapsed, releasing a 3-to-7-foot wave of this toxic waste. Ten people died, many had severe chemical burns, and the ecological effects continue to this day. (Our recycling process does not require use of any chemicals, and only requires a fraction of the energy.)
Uses
Removal of rust, scale, sand, or paint from fabricated components
Producing surface profile for an increase of surface area prior to coating (increasing bond strength)
Roughening of industrial gas turbine engine component surfaces in preparation for thermal spray coating
Removal of burrs or edge profiling machined components
Etching, or producing a matte cosmetic surface finish on consumer products
Removal of mold flash from plastic components
Surface texturing of tooling and molds to alter the appearance of molded or stamped products
Other Applications: Grinding Wheel Manufacture, Anti-Slip Additive, Non-Slip & Abrasion Resistant Aggregate/Grit/Media, Polishing Pastes & Compound Manufacture, Vibratory Mass Finishing Additive, Chemical Resistant and High Temperature Applications

Why Use Aluminum Oxide?
Most economical abrasive media for cabinet blasting when reused
Most extensive range of grit sizes
Good recyclability
Precisely graded into specific sizes providing fast and consistent performance
Produces best surface for coating bond strength
Usable at lower air pressures, reducing compressed air costs
