Blasting Medias

Glass beads

Glass beads gently refine and clean surfaces. For uniform results with minimal material removal.

Due to their spherical grain shape, glass beads are non-abrasive. They do not cut into the material but microscopically deform the surface.

The result is a closed, silky-matte surface with high optical quality and unchanged geometry.

Glass beads are used wherever precision, surface quality, and reproducible results are crucial.

Benefits

  • Gentle processing: Cleaning and finishing with minimal material removal – ideal for sensitive materials
  • Consistent surface quality: Uniform, silk-matte results across individual parts and series production
  • Dimensional accuracy maintained: No changes to geometry or tolerances
  • Process reliability: Consistently reproducible results with a defined effect in the blasting process

Features

  • Spherical grain shape: For a peening effect without cutting material removal
  • Non-abrasive action: For gentle material contact and uniform surface compaction
  • Defined grain distribution: For controllable and reproducible process conditions
  • System compatibility: Usable in injector and pressure blasting systems

Specifications

  • Glass beads for gentle surface finishing (e.g., stainless steel finish): Soda-lime-silica glass (spherical, iron-free)
  • Glass beads for reproducible precision processes: Usable in industry, medical technology, and sensitive applications
  • Grain size range: 10 to 300 microns

Dimensions

Typical Applications

  • Stainless steel and titanium finish:Uniform, silky-matte appearance for visible and functional surfaces.
  • Medical technology:Cleaning and matting of instruments and implants.
  • Aluminum processing:Removal of oxide layers without affecting dimensional accuracy.
