Galaxy Minerals supplies abrasive slag, a blasting material made through a steel slag atomizing process. Explore product information and available grades to find a suitable option for your blasting requirements.
Abrasive slag is a blasting abrasive used to clean and prepare surfaces. It is produced from steel slag through an atomizing process, which turns the slag into small particles suitable for use in blasting equipment.
Buyers use it as an alternative to other common blasting materials such as sand and copper slag. The right choice depends on your equipment, the surface you are working on and the finish you need.
Understanding the material and the properties that influence blasting performance.
Slag is a by-product of steelmaking. In the atomizing process, molten steel slag is broken into small particles and then cooled, screened and graded. The result is a hard, angular-to-rounded abrasive that can be used in blasting.
For blasting, a few properties matter most. Particle size controls how fast the surface is cleaned and how rough it becomes. Hardness affects how well the abrasive cuts. Particle shape affects the surface profile it leaves. Cleanliness, such as low salt and dust content, matters for coating adhesion and for the working environment.
Because these properties vary between products, buyers should compare the specification against their equipment, the coating system and any project standards before ordering.

Surface preparation requirements vary by project, material and coating specification.
In abrasive blasting, the slag is propelled at a surface by compressed air to remove rust, old coatings, mill scale and other contaminants. It also leaves a rough surface profile that helps new coatings stick. This is important when preparing steel before painting or coating.
Blasting is commonly used to prepare steel structures such as tanks, pipelines, bridges and ship hulls before coating. The grade should be chosen to match the required cleanliness and surface profile.
Abrasive slag may be suitable for open-site blasting and enclosed blasting systems, depending on the product specification, project requirements, equipment and applicable local regulations.
Each application should be checked against the relevant technical data sheet, equipment requirements and project specification.
Choosing the right blasting abrasive starts with understanding the application, material requirements and technical specifications.
Abrasive slag can be considered where buyers are looking for an alternative to sand or copper slag.
