Advantages of glass beads used for sandblasting

Sandblasting glass beads take the compressed air as the potential power, it is injected to the working part surface with high-speed, high pressure for shot peening, finishing processing. compared with other sandblasting materials, glass beads sandblasting product has bellow advantages.

1, Both soft and hard characters – it is produced using high quality material, it has not only a certain mechanical strength, sio2 content is bigger than or equal to 68%, hardness up to 6-7 Mohs, but also have enough elasticity, it can be recycly used several times, not easy to break, and have same effect for wht working part, its service time is more than 3 times than normal glass beads.

2, Good uniformity – its roundness is bigger than or equal to 80%, uniform particle size, keep uniform brightness for all parts after sandblasting, not easy to leave watermark.

3, Irreplaceable – blasting glass beads as a grinding material have more advantages than any other grinding material, except for the metal grinding material, its using time is longer than any other medium, it has good chemical stability, it has not pollution to the working part,and it can be cleaned up speedly,maintaining the accuracy of the original object at the same time.

4, Smooth without impurities – the appearance of spherical particles, no impurities; The surface is smooth, with good finish, up to the international and domestic standards

Glass beads blasting is used in a wide range of manufacturing processes.

 Finer glass beads are well-suited for creating a very smooth surface finish often with a satin-matte finish.

Medium-size glass beads are more suitable choice when working with metals such as aluminum and stainless steel. This grade is ideal for covering or hiding imperfections, scratches, and machine marks on the substrate surface.

Large glass beads work well for cleaning and light deburring of rough surfaces found on many metal castings and various automotive parts. Coarser grades will leave a more heavily peened look and a brighter surface finish.
