Glass Bead will clean metal parts without etching the surface. Is commonly used for automotive restoration, polishing of castings, stainless steel fabrication, and light deburring of precision parts. It is most commonly used in abrasive blast cabinets. Its round shape gently cleans metal parts, leaving a smooth, polished or matte finish.
Glass Bead is an environmentally-friendly, and can be recycled up to eight times or more. Abrasive blast cabinets provide the best recyclability rate.Easily performs a wide variety of abrasive blasting jobs.
Larger sizes can be used for the cleaning of automotive parts, castings, and deburring rough edges from castings and gears.
Medium sizes are suited for blending surface defects and working with aluminum and stainless steel parts, providing a satin to matte finish.
Fine sizes work best for light duty work and allow for fine detail work. Because of its reflectiveness, it is also used in addition to paint for parking lot striping.
