Glass beads

Product characteristics

Glass beads also known as glass microbeads are one of the most popular and pure, mineral, non-metallic abrasives. Dust generated in abrasive blasting is free of respirable crystalline silica (SiO2) and does not cause a hazard to workers and the environment. Glass beads are reusable abrasive. As a filler glass beads lower the shrinkage of coatings while drying, improve their smoothness, flow properties and wetability. Glass beads have also decorative values.
