Glass Beads
Glass beads are a mineral, iron-free, reusable abrasive with a wide range of applications. Due to their spherical shape, they have a low abrasive effect and are therefore ideally suited for gentle cleaning. The special ability of the glass beads is to produce a silky matt surface finish.
Areas of application
- Reusable abrasive, fine abrasive, dry abrasive
- Filler beads
- Reflective glass beads
Blasting systems
- Pressure blast systems
- Injector blast cabinets
