Value Collection GBS5545 Blasting Media 120 Grit Sic

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION GBS5545 is a silicon carbide abrasive blasting media supplied in a 50-pound box. Silicon carbide is one of the hardest blasting abrasives available, making it well suited for aggressive surface preparation on hard substrates including metals, ceramics, and composite materials. This media is graded at 120 grit, placing it in the medium range for controlled material removal and surface finishing. The angular particle shape promotes faster cutting action compared to round or sub-angular alternatives, reducing cycle time in blast cabinet and pressure-blast applications. Trade professionals specify this media when a consistent, repeatable surface profile is required prior to coating or bonding.

This blasting media is used in a wide range of industrial and trade settings, including metal fabrication shops, surface preparation contractors, and maintenance facilities. It performs in pressure blast systems, suction-fed blast cabinets, and direct-pressure portable units. Typical applications include descaling steel, etching aluminum, cleaning weld joints, and preparing surfaces for thermal spray or industrial coatings. The 120 grit designation is commonly selected where a finer surface finish is needed without sacrificing cutting speed.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide media for aggressive cutting action on hard surfaces
• 120 grit uniform particle size for consistent surface finish
• Angular particle shape increases cutting efficiency and reduces dwell time
• Medium grade balances material removal rate with finish quality
• Supplied in a 50-pound box for easy handling and storage

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard pressure-blast and suction-fed blast cabinet systems that accept silicon carbide abrasive media at 120 grit sizing.

Installation Notes

Blasting media should be installed and operated by personnel trained in abrasive blasting safety practices. Always wear appropriate respiratory protection, eye protection, and blast-rated gloves when handling or using this media. Verify that blast equipment pressure ratings and nozzle sizes are compatible with the media type and grit before use. Inspect blast hoses, nozzles, and cabinet seals for wear prior to loading new media.
