Glass Bead Blasting

What is it?

Manufactured from lead-free, soda lime-type glass, containing no free silica, Glass Beads are available in a wide range of grades available for different jobs and profiles.

How does it work?

Fine glass beads are applied at a high pressure to remove surface deposits. The smaller the glass spheres, the smoother the surface; larger spheres produce a more textured finish.

Benefits

• Non-reactant: will not interfere with coatings.
• Clean finish: leaves no residue, discoloration, or odor.
• Lightweight: creates a low profile on the surface.
• Gentle: leaves a clean surface without damaging or embedding in substrate.
• Creates a polished, matte, fine metal finish.
• For delicate substrates: thin-walled parts, thin welds, rubber, and plastic.
• Environmentally friendly: recyclable, chemically inert, non-hazardous, and non-toxic, so it can be blasted around water.
• Free from lead and silica and low dust: ability to work in confined spaces.
