sand bead blasting
Sand bead blasting : Solid glass beads are often used as fillers for plastics and paints. In the actual production process, we use glass powder containing silicon, sodium and calcium, and after a long time of high temperature firing, we can get solid glass beads.

What Are Bead Blasting’s Applications?
Aerospace industry | Remove rust and paint from mechanical components to remove knife marks. |
Remove scratches on the rubber | Reflective paint for roads |
Scratch treatment on the surface of stainless steel. | |
Foundry industry; | Pre processing in the electroplating industry. |
Semiconductor Industry | Crafts for exterior decoration |

Sand bead blasting | Solid Glass Beads
Our solid glass beads are characterized by high roundness, good hardness, strong abrasion resistance, directional reflection, etc., and have obvious fluorescent effect under UV light. Solid glass beads can be applied to:
1) Road marking
Road marking is a kind of traffic road route trunk and branch line are commonly used in a kind of reminder signs, because the road marking needs to remind drivers of real-time traffic road conditions, driving requirements and hazard warnings, so it is required even in the dark, wet environment should be clearly visible.
In addition, because the road marking covers a wide range, the construction consumes much labor and material resources, so the raw materials used to make road marking should be able to withstand the sun and wind, to avoid frequent replacement.
Solid glass beads as a glass texture products, with good reflective ability. In the road marking on a thin layer of solid glass beads, in the dark or under the influence of bad weather, solid glass beads can absorb and reflect the surrounding weak natural light or artificial light, resulting in a clear fluorescent effect, so that drivers can be in the dim light conditions, still following the road marking slow and safe driving.
In addition, solid glass beads are hard and wear-resistant, and do not easily decompose at high temperatures. Whether in the repeated friction of countless rubber tires, or the hot sun under the sun, solid glass beads will not easily wear and tear fusion, durable, greatly reducing the maintenance costs of road marking.
2) Filler and enhancer of chemical products
In the manufacturing process of chemical products, fillers and enhancers are often used to improve the physical or chemical properties of synthetic chemical products. These products often need to have their own stable chemical properties, low viscosity and easy to flow, so as to enhance product performance at the same time, but also able to fill the gaps in various products, with good filling properties.
Solid glass beads have become a new type of filling material to replace the traditional chemical filler by virtue of its unique properties. First of all, solid glass beads are chemically stable, which is reflected in the fact that the melting temperature of glass is much higher than that of resin, with excellent thermal stability. In addition, the corrosion resistance of solid glass beads is very strong, and they are not easy to decompose or corrode in most acid and alkali solutions.
Solid glass beads have strong product rigidity and can be used for filling to ensure the dimensional stability of chemical products.
The smooth and rounded appearance of solid glass beads can effectively prevent stress cracking, and the smooth appearance can also appropriately reduce the wear and tear between equipment.
What’s more, the unique spherical structure of solid glass beads makes it have strong fluidity, which is very favorable for filling. In addition, if the chemical products use resin in the production process, the use of solid glass beads can greatly reduce the amount of resin and viscosity, so that the products are easier to spread, reduce the defects of the products, reduce production costs.
3)Decorative crafts production
Solid glass beads can also be used to produce decorative crafts.
First of all, the solid glass beads we produce are usually pure white, which can be dyed to other colors in combination with customers’ demands, or customers can also use their own dyes to dye, and the dyeing process will not affect the performance of the products. In addition, as a glass product, it can reflect various kinds of light from the outside world and increase the beauty of decorative crafts.
