Glass beads are a spherical, iron-free blasting medium. Taking hardened spherical soda lime glass as raw materials, glass beads are a multi-faceted and commonly used media. Micro glass beads are one of the most common reusable blasting media, which is ideal for non-aggressive cleaning and for producing visually attractive surfaces.

-Does not cause dimensional change to the base material
-Environmentally friendlier than chemical treatments
-Leave even, spherical impressions on blasted part surface
-Low breakdown rate
-Lower disposal & maintenance costs
-Soda Lime glass does not release toxins (no free silica)
-Suitable for pressure, suction, wet and dry blasting equipment
-Will not contaminate or leave residue on work pieces
-Blast-cleaning–removing rust and scale from metallic surfaces, removing mould residues from casting and removing tempering colour
-Surface finishing–finishing surfaces to achieve specific visual effects
-Used as disperser, grinding media and filter material in day, paint, ink and chemical industry
-Road marking
