Glass bead blasting media
Glass bead blasting abrasives are not only cost-effective but also reusable. This greatly reduces your production costs while achieving stress crack and corrosion resistance, thus extending the lifespan of your components.
Another significant advantage of glass bead blasting media is its ability to remove burrs, ensuring smooth edges for perfect assembly and operation without removing other materials from the components or stainless steel surfaces.
Glass Bead Sandblasting Media 50 Micron
Currently, we have extensively applied glass beads to the surface treatment of metals, glass, plastics, rubber, and some soft accessories. Glass bead blast media can be said that the smaller the glass bead, the smoother and finer the surface treatment glass bead blast media achieves.
GLASS BEADS Cleaning/Polishing Media
The characteristics of our glass bead blasting media are:
Cost-effectiveness: Due to the slow consumption rate of glass beads as blasting media, glass bead blasting media can be reused multiple times and recycled, making them highly economical.
Strong chemical inertness and good precision: fine glass bead blasting media leave no traces or residues on the surface of objects.

They can provide surface cleaning and burr removal for various items.
The surface shape of glass microbeads |
glass bead blasting media is spherical, with a clear color, a hardness of 2.5g/cc, a free silica content of 0, a specific gravity of 2.45-2.5, and a compressive strength of 36,000 psi.
Glass microbeads do not contain silica dioxide.
There are various sizes of glass media available for selection.
Generally, finer beads clean faster and produce a matte finish, while coarser beads cover larger surface areas to create higher surface contours and smoother finishes.
Therefore, we emphasize the use of high quality fine glass bead blasting media with spherical surfaces, which are ideal for various cleaning, engraving, and burr removal tasks.
By utilizing glass microbeads repeatedly and recycling them, we can achieve higher blasting efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
When measuring the size of glass microbeads, we typically use mesh sizes. The higher the mesh number, the smaller the glass beads.
Our sizes include:
30-40 mesh: This size is ideal for removing surface paint and rust.
40-60 mesh: Suitable for cleaning and polishing aluminum and stainless steel surfaces.
60-80 mesh: This size is suitable for light rust and corrosion on stainless steel, but not recommended for plastic or wood surfaces.
80-100 mesh: This size tends to produce a satin finish, resulting in a very smooth surface.
100-170 mesh: This size provides a refined polishing effect, making it particularly suitable for soft accessories in jewelry processing.
In summary, the larger the glass microbeads, the rougher the surface they treat, while the smaller the glass microbeads, the finer the surface treatment.
Glass microbeads, available in various sizes for your selection, are among the most commonly used blasting media in sandblasting cabinets.
Apart from removing burrs and achieving surface smoothness, they can also eliminate paint, rust, scale, and other surface residues.
They can handle some welding gaps and seams as well. Glass microbeads of finer sizes tend to be consumed and damaged more quickly under the same pressure in similar environments.
Due to their spherical shape, they can clean smaller materials more efficiently, resulting in a matte finish.
The final outcome of surface treatment with glass microbeads depends on factors such as bead size, the shape of the workpiece, distance from the workpiece, air pressure, nozzle angle, etc., all of which influence the surface treatment result.
As one of the most common blasting abrasives, glass microbeads have relatively uniform sizes, low dust emissions, and are highly effective in achieving surface smoothness.
Therefore, when choosing glass microbeads for surface treatment, consider the desired outcome. If you are working on a small area, opt for smaller glass beads; for larger areas, larger glass microbeads are recommended.
