Shot Blasting Glass Beads

Shot blasting Glass Beads are a unique feature of abrasives used in cleaning or metal surface strengthening processes, primarily for sandblasting equipment. The raw material of the glass beads is glass sand, which is fused into a spherical shape by high temperature suspension and then annealed to eliminate internal stress and prevent breakage. This transparent, clear spherical structure product does not have particles embedded in the workpiece during use, contaminating the workpiece or causing other damage. Using different sizes of abrasives and different operating parameters, the glass beads will have a special decorative effect by selective localized controlled blasting on the surface of the workpiece.
