ABRASIVES & APPLICATION GUIDE

Please use this media chart to assist in choosing the best abrasive media for your restoration
and surface preparation needs on wood, concrete, plastic, iron and more!

This guide also outlines the best practices for using our surface preparation equipment: such
as PSI, coverage per foot and average consumption.

When using your IBIX System for your surface preparation project, we recommend starting with the lowest pressure setting available. Test patching your
surface preparation project is highly recommended to ensure the correct abrasive media has been selected for your surface preparation project.
