Shot Peening and Blasting > Shot Peening and Blasting Media > Glass Beads

Glass bead is manufactured from high-grade crushed and sized glass cullet. The cullet is melted to a spherical shape and annealed to equalize internal stresses and resist fracture. These non-abrasives, clear, transparent spheres function without particle embedment, pick-up, contamination or other damage to the surface under treatment. Depending on the size and operating parameters selected, we supply a surface finish ranging from fine matte to bright satin. Decorative and special effects on surfaces may easily be achieved by masking and blasting.
