Glass Beads are manufactured from high-grade glass, contain no free silica, and are made into preformed spherical shapes. They produce a smooth and bright satin finish and are extremely hard, chemically inert, and environmentally friendly.
Glass Beads are a popular abrasive in both wet and dry blasting. They are primarily used in blasting cabinets for honing, polishing, peening, blending, finishing, removing light burrs, and cleaning more light foreign matter.
