Glass beads are an iron-free non-disposable abrasive for a wide application range. They are very much suitable for blasting any kind of metallic or non-metallic working pieces. Due to the round shape this abrasive is used for gentle cleaning. The abrasive effect is relatively small. Glass beads (made of bullet proof glass) are also suitable for achieving optically appealing surfaces and are one of the most used abrasives in the world.
Application range:
- Blast cleaning
Removal of rust and scale layers on metallic surfaces
Removal of form remains on castings
Removal of discolouration - Surface finishing
Surface refining
Achievement of optical effects - Shot peening
Specific compression of the surface (solidification of the surface/improvement of the mechanical features) - Reshape blasting
Shot peening for reshaping or straightening of work pieces
