CRUSHED GLASS BLASTING MEDIA
THE PERFECT GENERAL PURPOSE blasting media
Our crushed glass blasting media is manufactured from 100% recycled bottle glass. Crushed glass is a solid, general purpose abrasive – it is economical, eco- and operator-friendly and offers many advantages over traditional abrasives such as coal and copper slag. ESCA crushed glass works great in vapor, dustless and dry-blast equipment.
Crushed glass blasting media is classified as a semi-hard abrasive. It’s aggressive enough to remove many coatings and paints. With the right technique and approach, it can also be used on fiberglass boat bottoms, some wood materials, commercial masonry, and other sensitive substrates that harder abrasives would ruin.
Not too hard AND Not too soft
Our best analogy is this: When you drop a glass bottle it will shatter. However, a bottle made of JETMAG would just bounce off the floor. Although glass will abrade the surface you are working on, you can control its impact because of this “shattering” feature. It is possible to achieve a range of finishes with glass, from very light textures to paint-ready profiles. Due to its translucent nature, crushed glass will also deliver a whiter metal finish than many other sandblasting abrasives.
DID YOU KNOW?
Our Crushed Glass blast media is manufactured from 100% recycled bottle glass. This means that using crushed glass blasting media has kept over 3.3 million pounds of glass out of our landfills. That’s why ESCA stands for Environmentally Sensible Chemical Alternatives.
