Glass is a blasting medium in the form of very small glass beads. The glass beads are made of soda-lime glass and have high resistance to impact and shock. The manufacturing process is carried out with great precision and careful control of bead shape and hardness, which gives the glass beads high and consistent quality. The medium is reusable. Recommended air pressure at the nozzle is 1-4 bar. This blasting medium is used for cleaning, polishing, and mold cleaning in the glass, rubber, and plastic industries.
All coatings are removed without causing any damage to the blasted surface. However, one should consider the peening effect, which can cause thin sheets to bend. Sometimes this effect is sought to avoid metal fatigue. The peening effect (shot-peening) is used to strengthen the surface of an object by hammering and compressing it. This increases the fatigue strength of components subjected to dynamic loads.
The blasting medium is very gentle on the treated material. The surface gets a semi-gloss finish after blasting. It is used for free jet blasting or suction-fed blast cabinets. Works excellently on stainless steel, glass, steel, and aluminum.
