Glass Beads

Glass Beads

DESCRIPTION:

Blastrite Glass Beads are high quality glass micro spheres resulting from the specialised processing of select glass cullet. Blastrite Glass Beads are versatile blasting media used in a variety of applications.

FUNCTION:

Finishing: For use in a wide range of materials including metal, glass, plastic and rubber. The smaller the glass spheres, the smoother the textured surface.
Cleaning: Glass Bead blasting removes and cleans foreign substances from the surface without a dimensional change to the surface.
Deburring: Glass Bead blasting removes burrs and feathered edges from parts in a precision operation. Corners and edges must be deburred with precision to assemble and operate properly. Glass Bead blasting guarantees that no base metal from the surface is removed.
Peening: Peening with Glass Bead is a low-cost form of creating a uniform surface layer of compressed stress in alloy substances. Peening acts to combat stress cracks and corrosion, resulting in the increased life of metal parts. .
