Industrial grade abrasive sand describes a type of sand used for industrial applications. Unlike standard abrasive materials, industrial grade high quality abrasive materials undergo strict production quality control. Finally, these undergo sandblasting, polishing, or grinding which all need the coarse grade. Because of its ability to aid in large scale grinding operations, shaping, and finishing metal parts and components, industrial grade abrasive sand is popular in metalworking plants. Coarse industrial grade abrasive sand is ideal due to exceptional wear resistance which allows use under high pressure and temperature conditions typical in industrial settings.
