Quality sandblasting sand
Sandblasting sand is abrasive sandblasting media used for sandblasting, as can be guessed by the name. Sand is the oldest and most common sandblasting media, which has been used even before 1900′s, however nowadays the sandblasting sand is being replaced by more modern and higher quality abrasive blasting media, especially since the most common sandblasting sand, silica, is considered to be hazardrous to health. Silica can cause a chronic lung disease and is already banned in several countries, such as Germany and Portugal. There are other types of sand that aren’t as hazardrous to health, such as more expensive but harmless garnet dust. Choice of sandblasting sand determines the quality and effect of sandblasting.
