Glass beads are spherical abrasives made from soda-lime glass, used primarily for surface finishing and cleaning applications.
Uniform size and shape:
Glass beads are manufactured to have consistent spherical shapes and sizes, ensuring uniformity in surface treatment results.
Inert chemical properties:
Glass beads suit for a wide range of materials without causing damage or unwanted reactions.
Recyclable:
Glass beads can be collected and reused multiple times, reducing waste and overall operational costs.
Leaves a smooth, satin-like finish:
Glass beads produce a polished surface without causing damage or leaving abrasive residue.
Glass beads are commonly used in shot blasting machines for delicate surface treatments such as deburring, peening, and polishing of metal, plastic, and composite materials.
