Fine-sized Glass Beads / Glass Microspheres are well-suited for lighter processes involving fine detail work.
Medium-sized Glass Beads / Glass Microspheres make the best choice when working with metal materials such as aluminum and stainless steel and are known for their ability to hide defects on the substrate surface.
Coarse-sized Glass Beads / Glass Microspheres work well for cleaning and deburring of rough surfaces found on many metal castings and various automotive parts.
Applications of Glass Beads / Glass Microspheres
1. Rust removal inside and outside of various types of parts, in addition to oxides, polishing to rough, Clearing stress
2. Surface treatment of various jewelry watches, lamps, cosmetic bottles, and eyeglass accessories.
3. It can remove the tensile stress of various types of parts, increase fatigue life and improve the resistance to stress and corrosion. Such as aircraft engine turbines, blades, shafts, landing gear, various springs, gear hydraulics, etc.
4. The integrated circuit board, plastic sealing on the tube before the tin cleaning and removal of waste edge burrs.
5. Remove the blockage in the cylinder and piston.
