Crushed/Ground Glass
Crushed/Ground Glass is offered in a variety of sizes to meet your specific glass media blasting requirements. Crushed/Ground Glass is produced from selected cullet of clear soda lime glass and is non-crystalline, non-toxic and poses no silicosis hazards.
This is an inert abrasive that is a substitute for slag and mineral abrasives. It contains no heavy metals and no free silica, making it an ideal choice for blasting projects where it is impractical to recover lost or spilled spent abrasive.
Crushed glass offers significant cost savings over using plastic beads, soda blast, and glass beads. Because it is more aggressive, it is able to remove corrosion and tougher coatings that other medias cannot, such as thick and rubbery elastomeric coatings.
Glass media blasting
Glass bead blasting media is formulated from chemically inert soda-lime glass and is spherical in shape. In many cleaning & finishing applications, glass bead blasting can replace a multi-step process with a single, efficient, and economical one-step process.
Glass bead performance benefits
- Rapid results: Clean, finish, peen and deburr in one step.
- Controlled results: Clean finish w/o significant metal removal or changing tolerances.
- Versatile: Create a wide range of reproducible surface finishes.
- Economical: Can be recycled/reused many times.
- Chemically inert: No ferrous or other residues.

Glass beads are generally used as a peening, honing, polishing, deburring, and finishing blast media in wet or dry blast cabinets to produce a bright clean matte finish on many substrates without keying the surface.
- 8kg coarse, 400-600 microns, bt4, 40/30 mesh
- made of hardened spherical soda lime glass
- can be recycled many times depending on application.
- glass beads are easily the most popular of the non cutting media.
- contains no free silica, will not contaminate, penetrate, leave residue, or cause dimensional change.
