Harsco has been recycling coal combustion by-products to minimize landfilling of coal slag across the United States since the 1930’s.

There is Only One Original BLACK BEAUTY® Blasting Abrasive.

Harsco’s BLACK BEAUTY® blasting abrasive has been number one in the industry for nearly 80 years. Our high quality, chemically inert, low free silica and low dusting BLACK BEAUTY® abrasives are utilized in a wide range of applications. This includes the removal of surface coatings such as rust, paint, and scale, from a variety of substrates, especially structural steel and concrete. Imitation maybe the sincerest form of flattery, but there is only one original BLACK BEAUTY® abrasive.

• Fast cutting, low dusting, tough enough to get the job done

• Uniform density

• Angular particle shape

• Chemically inert

• Less than 0.1% free silica*

• A 100% recycled, “green” product

* “High free silica” products have been found to increase the risk of silicosis. BLACK BEAUTY® abrasives are classified as a “low free silica” abrasive and can be used when “low free silica” abrasives are specified.

BLACK BEAUTY® Product Grades Available in 50lb bags at 60 bags per pallet, 100lb bags at 30 bags per pallet, Jumbo bags loaded up to 2 tons (4,000lbs) and bulk.

BLACK BEAUTY® Abrasive Profile Guide 1/8” 3/16” 1/4”

(1.0-2.6 Mils) (2.0-3.8 Mils) (3.0-4.8 Mils)

This BLACK BEAUTY® abrasive “profile guide” shows profile ranges achieved with different grades of BLACK BEAUTY® abrasives in a controlled environment using a blast cabinet designed by Harsco’s technical team. The controlled environment consisted of 90-100 psi at the nozzle, nozzle to surface distance of 18”, a 1/4” orifice venturi nozzle, on new 1/8” grade A36 steel, with a blast angle of 75 degrees to 105 degrees.

Some variance in the profile can be noted by the profile ranges even in a controlled environment. Harsco cannot guarantee identical profile results with BLACK BEAUTY® abrasives in the field where variability exists.

Also Available ELITE Grade: If your project requires an abrasive that meets a specific sizing specification, we can help.

Using our proprietary processes and superior blending capabilities, we can fine-tune your BLACK BEAUTY® blasting media to Elite gradations. Contact us for assistance.
