Blast Media

Shot blasting media is the foundation of controlled surface preparation—whether the goal is aggressive material removal, gentle cleaning, coating removal, or surface peening.
Moleroda supplies certified industrial blast media for aerospace, defence, automotive, engineering, and general manufacturing, with stock held in the UK for rapid delivery.

Our range covers aluminium oxide (fused alumina), glass media, and plastic blast media, allowing engineers to select abrasives based on mechanical outcome, substrate sensitivity, and certification requirements rather than trial and error.
