Glass Beads Blasting Media
Description
Glass beads blasting media is a high-quality, reusable blasting media based on melted soda-lime glass in accordance with DIN 8201. The product meets occupational safety requirements in accordance with DGUV Rule 100–500, Chapter 2.24 “Working with blasting equipment (blasting work)” and is approved as a non-silicosis-hazardous blasting media.
Thanks to their spherical shape and uniform structure, glass beads provide gentle yet efficient surface treatment and are therefore ideal for matting, smoothing (shot peening) or removing heat tint on sensitive materials such as stainless steel or aluminium.

Typical applications
Glass beads are mainly used as reusable blasting media in stationary compressed-air blasting systems, such as injector blast cabinets. Due to their spherical grain shape, they are less abrasive than angular blasting media and are therefore ideal for gentle cleaning, densifying (shot peening) or decorative blasting of sensitive surfaces.
