Starblast – Blasting Media

Starblast blasting abrasives are a loose blend of coarse and fine staurolite sands that are uniformly sized and have clean, rounded surfaces. Mined from Chemours mineral deposits in Northeast, Florida, the naturally occurring sands are washed to ensure freedom from dirt, dust, and ultrafines. 

Features and Benefits of Starblast Media

The Starblast™ line of abrasive blasting material offers many benefits over alternative options for sandblasting, water jet cutting, and vapor blasting. These products are California Air Resources Board (CARB) certified and SSPC AB-1 certified.

Both of these products contain very low free silica—Starblast™ abrasive media is guaranteed to contain <3% free silica (typically <2%), while Starblast™ XL is guaranteed to contain <1% free silica. Starblast™ XL is also QPL approved for MIL-A22262B-SH.

Additional benefits of Starblast™ and Starblast™ XL abrasive media include:

• Greater blasting visibility due to minimal dust generation
• Lower labor costs through faster, more-efficient blasting
• Less material costs due to recyclability
• More uniform blasting pattern
• Sub-rounded to sub-angular grains result in less abrasive embedment
• Electrically nonconductive

Chemours is producer of the product in Florida.
