Sandblasting and Surface TreatmentGlass Beads
Satin, bright finish without dimensional change
Glass beads are produced by forming glass free of free silica and lead into spheres. They contain no iron, are reusable and are suitable for blasting metal and non-metal parts.
Unlike angular abrasives, round grains polish the surface rather than cut it, giving a clean, satin-like appearance without changing part dimensions.
