Online retail is reshaping how industrial buyers source abrasive blasting materials, and 10X Engineered Materials is meeting that shift by selling its abrasives on Amazon, giving buyers faster access to one of the best abrasive media options on the market.
The abrasive materials industry is shifting toward digital sales channels, and 10X Engineered Materials is adapting alongside it. The company recently began selling its abrasives directly to buyers through Amazon, giving blasting professionals access to one of the best abrasive media options on the market without going through a distributor.
E-Commerce Is Broadening Access to Specialty Abrasives
Blasting contractors are used to one-click ordering everywhere else in their lives, and now they are asking abrasive suppliers for the same thing. Placing abrasive media on Amazon puts 10X in front of more blasting contractors, fabrication shops and maintenance teams. It also introduces price transparency, letting buyers compare listings side by side rather than requesting quotes from multiple vendors.

What Should Buyers Look for in a Quality Blasting Abrasive?
Buyers evaluating abrasive media typically weigh safety, speed and finish results before price. 10X’s superoxalloy abrasives are produced from a mineral wool manufacturing by-product, giving them a random particle arrangement instead of traditional abrasives’ angular shape, which reduces the likelihood of shattering on impact. The company positions its lineup, which includes the KinetiX, EpiX and DynamiX product families, as among the most cost-effective in the industry. Several factors set these particles apart from conventional options:
- Safety: The material is biosoluble, not biopersistent, and is classified by the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer in the same category as coffee.
- Speed and finish: The particles do more work per pass, so operators use less material while achieving a high-quality finish and removing coatings, corrosion or other unwanted surface residues.
- Dust and pressure: The abrasives produce comparatively low dust and can be blasted at pressures up to 130 psi, depending on the application.
10X Engineered Materials’ abrasive products are NAVSEA Military QPD: MIL-PRF-22262C listed and approved, California Air Resources Board Approved and SSPC AB-1 Certified. The company also provides free technical support, a service few competitors offer.
