Glass Beads, Cleaning, surface finishing,Shot peening, Deburring and surface blending of gears
Glass Beads are a spherical abrasive manufactured from chemically inert soda lime glass. Glass Beads are used for cleaning, finishing, light peening, deburring, sanitizing, descaling, coating removal, polishing and surface blending. Glass Beads produce a bright satin finish; finer beads produce a smoother non glare finish, while larger beads produce a deeper textured finish. Blasting with Glass Bead does not produce any dimension changes to the part base surface.
