    Default Blasting with alu oxide aka alucab

    I just switched from blasting with silca sand to aluminum oxide due to the health
    Issues with silca sand.
    What is the dangers with long term alu oxide exposure, any advice from you guys that has experience with using it?

    Many thanks westline

    Less then the dangers of long term exposure to whatever you are sandblasting. Wear full protection!
