Glass and Ceramic beads for Grinding of paint and ink.

Blasting Media for surcace Finishing and Shot Peening

GLASS BEADS (Blasting / Peening)

Ceroglass glass beads are made of hardened spherical soda lime glass and are a multi-faceted and commonly used media. Cost effective, ideal where metal contamination is not allowed, and often used to peen difficult to reach part areas.

Advantages

Does not cause dimensional change to the base material
Environmentally friendlier than chemical treatments
Leave even, spherical impressions on blasted part surface
Low breakdown rate
Lower disposal & maintenance costs
Soda Lime glass does not release toxins (no free silica)
Suitable for pressure, suction, wet and dry blasting equipment
Will not contaminate or leave residue on workpieces
