Where it is used
Typical process uses for Glass Beads across industrial surface preparation.
Cold working of metal surfaces, i.e. shot peening and honing.
General cleaning, removing light foreign matter.
Decorative finishing, polishing, or matting.
What to know
Glass Beads are lightly cleaned metal elements (Part) without etching the surface, leaving a smooth, polished, or matte finish. Glass Bead blasting Abrasive is a chemically inert, spherical abrasive ideal for cleaning, peening, or polishing of sensitive articles (objects) such as automotive parts, or molds. Often used in shot blasting cabinets where it can be collected and reused.
Glass beads are made from lead-free, soda lime-type glass, containing no free silica that is built into preformed round, ball shapes. They offer a much smoother and brighter finish than angular abrasives material. Glass bead blasting provides a clean, bright, peened, satin finish, without dimensional change of the parts. They can be recycled almost 30 times. Chemically inert and environmentally friendly, glass beads are an adequate system of metal cleaning or surface finishing when properly controlled.

Available in a broad range of sizes, glass beads are essentially utilized in blasting cabinets for honing, polishing, peening, blending, finishing, removing light burrs, and cleaning most light foreign substances (material). For delicate thin-walled elements and thin welds, peening with glass bead abrasive substance (material) provides the right balance of stress release without over-stressing and causing damage.

FAQ
Quick clarity on quotation, supply and what our team needs to size Glass Beads correctly.
Glass Beads is a blast abrasive used in surface preparation and peening processes. It is selected by size, hardness and shape to match the base material, required surface profile and whether the application needs cleaning, profiling or shot peening.
Glass Beads is used in grit blasting and shot blasting operations across fabrication, foundry, automotive, pipeline, shipyard and general engineering. Typical jobs include rust and scale removal, weld cleaning, anchor profile before coating, and peening of stressed components.
