GLASS BEADS

Glass Beads are manufactured from lead-free, soda lime-type glass, containing no free silica that is made into preformed spherical shapes. This media produces a very smooth and bright surface finish due to the gentle cleaning effect. Glass beads blasting produces a clean and bright satin finish without dimensional change of the parts due to the low impact force. They can be recycled in the system approximately 30 times before they break apart.
Available in a wide range of sizes, glass beads are primarily used in blasting cabinets for polishing, light burr removal, general surface finishing and for the removal of foreign matter. Suitable for the blasting of very delicate and thin walled parts that require a gentle surface treatment.
