glass bead media
glass bead media
Glass bead media are a white and transparent filler. It is completely chemically inert and impermeable to gases, liquids, etc. Its main raw material is glass sand. After a series of processes, it finally becomes a transparent and clear chemical filler. We have a variety of different sizes of abrasives for you to choose from to achieve different levels of surface treatment requirements.

Specification of Bead blasting glass
Glass beads can be widely used in oil well drilling and water treatment as well as reflective paint coatings. Glass beads can also be used as an abrasive in the industrial field.
It can clean and remove burrs, and has a very obvious effect on the surface treatment of stainless steel and metal parts. We provide different sizes of glass bead abrasives to achieve different levels of surface treatment requirements.
Especially in some software videos, our glass beads will not affect the accuracy of the surface.

We sincerely look forward to your consultation. Our glass microbeads are applied to your industrial field.
Whether your application is in the production of paint coatings, the extraction of oilfield drilling mud, or surface treatment such as polishing, we will provide you with a one-stop solution.
Glass bead media have several key industrial applications, including the following:
- Paints and Coatings: Due to their reflective and refractive properties, glass microspheres are used in road marking paints to enhance nighttime visibility and safety.
These paints and coatings, containing glass microspheres, are particularly effective for road signs, airport runways, and warning lines on guardrails.
- Oilfield Drilling: Glass microspheres can also be utilized in oilfield drilling operations.
Glass beads used in oilfield drilling can be used in both water-based mud systems and oil-based mud systems.
It can effectively prevent a stuck drill and reduce torque and resistance. But there will be no other impact on the entire drilling process.
- Surface Cleaning: They are effective in surface cleaning, especially for stainless steel and components.
- Glass microspheres provide corrosion resistance and can extend the lifespan of parts. They are particularly useful for creating a matte finish on stainless steel products.
- Deburring in Circuit Boards: Glass microspheres are employed to remove burrs from integrated circuit boards and to smooth the surfaces of plastic seals.
- Medical Devices: For medical components and devices, glass microspheres are used to remove burrs and residues, ensuring the precision and cleanliness of these intricate cast surfaces.
