Metallic blasting media are available in an angular or spherical basic shape. They are made from a wide variety of materials: From pig iron, chilled cast iron, cast steel, non-ferrous metals, etc. They can be used in a variety of grain sizes and have different degrees of hardness.

Mineral blasting media are suitable for abrasive purposes. Polygonal or sharp-edged grains produce a scraping effect on the surface due to their shape and surface structure and help to achieve the desired abrasion or roughness.

Organic blasting media are mainly used in the plastics sector.

In the case of electrostatic charging or heavily contaminated workpieces (oil film, dust), so-called additives, which are mixed with the blasting agent, will help. These additives have a regulating effect on the individual disturbance variables and make blasting possible even under difficult conditions.
