Glass beads
Description
Glass beads are fine, round, solid glass granules.
It is a non-metallic blasting medium produced from natron glass.
When blasting with glass beads the operating pressure must generally be lower than 4.5 bar, or the glass beads break too quickly.
Advantages of glass beads
Because glass does not cause a chemical reaction when it comes into contact with other materials, there is no rust formation whatsoever on the surface treated. Glass beads are completely free of metals.
