GLASS BEAD BLASTING MEDIA
THE PERFECT BLASTING MEDIA FOR STEEL & SOFT METALS
Glass Bead blasting media is an effective surface preparation tool made from virgin glass, providing a uniform finish that prevents metal corrosion. Ideal for cleaning, peening, and finishing metals like stainless steel and aluminum, it maintains smooth surfaces thanks to its round shape. Recyclable multiple times when used at the right pressure, Glass Bead offers durability and cost-efficiency for various industrial applications.

Be careful – the round shape also means its very slippery for operators to walk on.
