Blasting: Surface cleaning and peening - produces a high-quality, matte finish
Automotive: Cleaning and preparing engine blocks, cylinder heads, and other components.
Aerospace: Cleaning and preparing aircraft parts.
Medical: Cleaning and sterilizing medical equipment.
Electronics: Cleaning delicate electronic components.
General Manufacturing: Preparing surfaces for painting, coating, or plating.
Relatively soft compared to other abrasive media like silica sand or steel grit, which makes them ideal for delicate surfaces where aggressive blasting could damage the material. They can effectively remove rust, paint, and other contaminants without causing significant surface damage.
Smooth finishes: Glass beads impart a smooth, satin-like finish on metals like aluminum, brass, and stainless steel. This finish can enhance the appearance of the workpiece and improve its corrosion resistance. The smooth surface also reduces friction and improves the performance of mechanical components.
Reuse: Glass beads can be reused multiple times, reducing waste and cost.
