Sharpshot (R) copper slag sandblasting abrasive is available in 3 main grades:

1. Coarse: 12/30
2. Medium: 20/50
3. Fine: 30/60
4. Very Fine: 40/120 (up to a 1 mil profile, similar to 80 Garnet or 80 grit silica sand.)

Minimum Order: Full truckoad or 22 net tons approximately

Packaging: Bulk (loose), 2 ton supersacks, or smaller 75lb bags.

Reclaiming and Profile Details:

 Sharpshot (R) 12/30 grit can be reclaimed up to 5 times, by adding 15% new into the mix.
 Sharpshot (R) 12/30 will provide a 4.5 to 5.0 mil profile when blasted at 90-100 psi, with a 45 to 90 degree angle, 18-24" distance to Surface.
 Sharpshot (R) 20/50 grit can be reclaimed twice.(The first blast as a 20/50, and then the second, reclaimed media will be as a 30/60.)
 Sharpshot (R) 20/50 will provide 2.5-3.0 mil profile when blasted at 90-100 psi, with a 45 to 90 degree angle, 18-24" distance to Surface. Many users
will blast at an 80 psi in order to get more passes out of the material.
 30/60 will provide a 2.0 to 2.5 mils profile when blasted at 90-100 psi, with a 45 to 90 degree angle, 18-24" distance to Surface.
 30/60 grit cannot be reclaimed, it is just too fine.
 A 3.0 mils profile is possible with 30/60 but only on new steel without any coating.
 Media is dense enough to be reclaimed via a Cyclone separator: 115 to 120#'s/cubic foot.
 Copper slag is a hard, cubical, and aggressive sandblasting media.
 Air cooled, not water quenched. Angular and Aggressive.
 Independent studies have shown it to be the fastest cutting slag abrasive.
 Listed on Naval QPL-22262
 Enviromentally friendly.
 Approved for recycling in Portland cement.
 Best abrasive to use when ranked on cutting speed and cost per sq. ft., according to independent NIOSH tests.
 Both arsenic and lead testing is done to the material and is therefore on the United States Naval Qualified Products list.
 California Air Resources Board (CARB) approved for dry outdoor abrasive blasting.
