Glass beads are a unique feature of abrasives used in cleaning or metal surface strengthening processes, primarily for sandblasting equipment. The raw material of the glass beads is glass sand, which is fused into a spherical shape by high temperature suspension and then annealed to eliminate internal stress and prevent breakage. This transparent, clear spherical structure product does not have particles embedded in the workpiece during use, contaminating the workpiece or causing other damage. Using different sizes of abrasives and different operating parameters, the glass beads will have a special decorative effect by selective localized controlled blasting on the surface of the workpiece.
Advantage of Blasting Glass Beads
- Surface treatment with glass beads is very economical and accurate.
- The chemical nature of the glass beads is inert and non-toxic. During use, no iron or other harmful substances remain on the surface of the workpiece, nor will it adversely affect the surrounding environment.
- With rich producing experience, the glass beads quality can control by adjusting the furnace temperature, the induced draft fan, and cooling water, so our product roundness is very high, and the glass beads appearance is clear without bubble.
- We worked with the glass factory, and choose the best raw material, it will give a promise on quality from resources.
- We have 24 hours quality control system, to make sure each lot of glass beads quality is the same
- Factory advantage, we can give the best competitive price

Application
- Matt surface treatment of stainless steel products (such as stainless steel sinks, cabinets, cookers, metal necessities, matte treatment)spherical glass beads for airfield markings
- Cleaning of various abrasive tools, removing tensile stress of various parts and increasing fatigue resistance. Extend product life and improve resistance to stress and corrosion. (such as aircraft engine turbines, blades, shafts, landing gear, various spring gear hydraulic parts, etc.)
- Integrated circuit plates; plastic sealing on the tube before tin cleaning and deburring
- Medical machinery, paper machinery, textile Shot peening and finishing of machinery and all kinds of hardware products; surface treatment of various non-ferrous metal pipe fittings and precision castings, deburring, removing residue
- Rust removal inside and outside of various types of parts, in addition to oxides, polishing to rough, Clearing stress.
- Surface treatment of various jewelry watches, lamps, cosmetic bottles, and eyeglass accessories.
