Glass Blasting Beads | glass bead blasting
We are a professional and experienced manufacturer and supplier of metal surface treatment products, specializing in high-quality glass bead blasting media. With over 20 years of experience, we can fully support your requirements for high-quality glass beads.
Glass bead blasting media is primarily used for surface treatment of items. glass beads for bead blasting involves using tiny glass beads as a medium to achieve rust removal, impurity removal, and paint stripping on surfaces of stainless steel, plastic, or metal products, resulting in a smoother and more aesthetically pleasing surface.
Moreover, glass bead blasting media is relatively gentle, making glass beads for bead blasting suitable for softer surface products without affecting their performance or precision, and without causing damage to components.
Our Glass beads blasting is worth your choice.
Glass bead blasting offers several benefits and advantages:
Glass bead for blasting can effectively remove burrs and imperfections from the edges of various components, regardless of whether they are made of metal, glass, plastic, or rubber.
It enhances the texture of the surface, providing a smoother and more refined finish. Even stainless steel components can benefit from glass bead blasting without compromising their size or precision.
It can strip paint coatings from surfaces of rubber or plastic products, ensuring a clean and uniform appearance. The process effectively eliminates rough spots, resulting in a smoother overall surface.
Glass bead blasting also addresses corrosion issues while providing a matte finish. It helps to level out any remaining burrs, resulting in a visually appealing surface. Overall, the surface of the object appears cleaner and more polished after glass bead for blasting.
Glass beads are environmentally friendly as they do not contain silica and can be recycled multiple times.
Glass beads are gentle enough to be used on delicate surfaces without causing damage.
In application, glass bead for blasting is corrosion-resistant, making it suitable for stainless steel and various metal components. It does not alter the dimensions or precision of metal surfaces, achieving the desired effects of deburring and polishing. This significantly extends the lifespan of components and stainless steel parts.
In summary, glass beads, made from sodium calcium, with a hardness between 5 to 6, are used as fillers and abrasives for surface treatment in sandblasting cabinets or recyclable sandblasting operations.
Before selecting glass beads, consider the size of the beads, as this directly impacts the final polishing result.
During glass beads for bead blasting operations, glass beads are projected onto components as a medium to achieve the desired surface treatment. Fine glass beads for bead blasting can achieve a matte or satin finish, while coarser glass beads can improve surface uniformity to conceal any defects in the base material.

Descriptions of Glass bead blast media | Glass beads for blasting
Glass blasting beads are completely difference from hollow glass microspheres.
We offer a variety of glass beads blasting in different sizes to help you remove burrs and uneven surfaces on metal. Their eco-friendliness and durability significantly reduce your raw material procurement costs.
The corrosion resistance of solid glass microspheres allows them to be used as surface treatment materials in some softer decorative items, providing a glossy and aesthetically pleasing finish to metal surfaces.
Because glass beads blasting are non-toxic and inert, they are environmentally friendly, reusable, and recyclable. Therefore, they are both economical and efficient as safe and environmentally friendly chemical raw materials.
You can confidently use our Glass blasting beads as they are a very safe and soft chemical additive. Consequently, they can be used as surface treatment additives in some soft furnishings.
Glass blasting beads are corrosion-resistant, anti-oxidizing, and provide high-quality surface treatment.
This extremely fine process is perfect for soft surfaces or surfaces that require gentle contact, ensuring that these surfaces are not damaged while achieving the desired surface treatment effects.
glass beads for bead blasting will not disappoint when Glass blasting beads comes to removing rust spots from surfaces.
Using glass bead blasting is an environmentally friendly decoration method as it does not pollute and can be reused, reducing waste generation.
