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 including the H beam steel shot blasting machine for delicate surface treatments such as deburring, peening, and polishing of metal, plastic, and composite materials.
