Description
In the production of glass granules, soda lime-glass is crushed and pre-sifted. The crushed glass is then shaped into beads by means of a heat stream in a furnace. Glass beads are a mineral blasting media.
Glass beads are a mineral, iron-free reusable abrasive with a wide range of applications. Due to their (round) grain shape, they have a low abrasive effect and are therefore ideally suited for a gentle cleaning. Our customers appreciate the special ability of the glass beads to create a silky matte surface finish.
Applications: Polishing, Shot Peening, Surface Finishing, Castings, Coatings, Paints, Automotive, Light Deburring, Vapour and Wet Blasting, Cleaning Engine Parts.
