What Is GMA® V-Blast Virgin Aluminum Oxide?
GMA® V-Blast Virgin Aluminum Oxide is a high-purity, hard-wearing abrasive media manufactured from certified crude calcined bauxite, fused at temperatures reaching 2000°C to produce a dense, durable alpha aluminum oxide crystal. With a Mohs hardness of 9.0 and a true specific gravity of 3.96 g/cm³, it delivers consistent, aggressive cutting action across a broad range of surface preparation and finishing applications.
Available in 17 grit sizes ranging from coarse to fine, V-Blast is one of the most versatile abrasive media on the market. It performs reliably across abrasive blasting, grinding, lapping, deburring, and a wide range of specialty industrial processes. Every batch is manufactured and tested to ANSI standards, ensuring tight size specifications, controlled magnetic content, and consistent bulk density from order to order.
Solidstrip® ships GMA® V-Blast Virgin Aluminum Oxide nationwide, with flexible packaging options to support operations of any size, from small-scale finishing work to high-volume industrial production.
