Solid glass balls can be used in construction materials, such as concrete as an additive. It can also be used in deep sea drilling, magnetic glass position, because of its low density and high pressure resistance, so it can improve the suspension ability of deep sea equipment in the deep sea area. In the aerospace field, because the solid glass beads have better high temperature resistance, so it can play the effect of heat insulation.
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 |
solid glass balls
Solid glass beads are an inorganic glassy mineral material with many unique characteristics and a wide range of uses.
The most important feature of is their environmental friendliness and recyclability, which reduces energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, as well as the emission of hazardous substances and the exploitation of resources.
Solid glass balls can be recycled and reused many times, but the process of recycling may cause some pollution or consumption.
Solid glass beads can reduce the generation of waste.

Solid glass balls
Currently, solid glass beads can replace many different materials, such as ceramic beads, plastic beads, alumina beads, metal beads, glass beads and synthetic quartz to name a few.
The most obvious characteristic of solid glass beads is that they are high strength and lightweight. Low density is a feature of glass beads that allows it to not only reduce weight but also maintain a certain level of strength.
Solid glass beads can always remain stable under high temperature and pressure.
Corrosion and abrasion resistance. In many different harsh environments, solid glass beads can always maintain good chemical stability and are not subject to corrosion.
It is friendly to the environment as it can be recycled in line with green requirements and helps to regenerate resources. Extremely high transparency makes the glass beads in a relatively high density to the signs still maintain a relatively good transparency, and enhance the refractive index of light is also extremely prominent.
Solid glass beads can increase the adhesion and abrasion resistance of paint, not only enhance the gloss and thickness of the paint, but also some special features can be reflected, such as heat insulation, fire prevention, thermal insulation, reflective and other effects.
Because of the solid glass, the particles of microbeads are extremely fine, so it can be evenly distributed, especially to prevent stains.
Overall the chemical and physical properties of glass beads make them most popular for different applications.
Welcome to inquire, hollow glass microbeads and solid glass bead.
