This may be something you already know, but the body shops in my area use sand called "black beauty" that's made from lava rock, so I'm told. They say they use 1/3 as much since it's so agressive. Leaves a real nice finish, too. It costs about $12 a bag, as opposed to $7 a bag for silica, but works so much better. It's sold here at the concrete plant.

Black Beauty is but one brand name for coal slag. Reed Minerals Inc distributes that brand after it comes out of coal fired electric generating plants. They used to have more than a dozen plants accross the country.

Black beauty can be effecting when stripping heavy corrosion or coatings due to its angular profile. Sand is preferred when visibilty is not a concern. It weighs more, impacts harder, and gets you to "white metal" faster when comparing screen size to screen size.

No cheap blasting media has a 3x advantage over another media in the same screen size. I used to be in the business and purchased over 300 tons (unbagged) per year.
