M-Prep Surface Abrasion Materials

Abrading is often necessary to dislodge contaminants and to remove rust, scale, etc. When grit-blasting is necessary, use fine alumina powder and high-quality filters, and never recycle used grit. In general, wet-or-dry silicon-carbide paper is most convenient.



  Wet-or-Dry Silicon-Carbide Paper    220- and 320-grit is suited to most steels. 320- and 400-grit is suited to aluminum alloys and other soft metals.

  • 220 grit, 1-in-x-100-ft (25-mm-x-30-m) roll. Order Code SCP-1
  • 320 grit, 1-in-x-100-ft (25-mm-x-30-m) roll. Order Code SCP-2
  • 400 grit, 1-in-x-100-ft (25-mm-x-30-m) roll. Order Code SCP-3


  Pumice Powder    Produces a dull, matte finish. Recommended for minimal removal of surface material.

  • 1/2-oz (15-ml) bottle. Order Code GC-5
