Sandblasting Media crushed glass sb22a

Sandblasting Media crushed glass.

The Sandblasting media crushed glass works great for removing typical coatings and other surface preparation applications.
It is very versatile, and can be used as a dry blasting media or combined with water, for use in slurry blasting machines.
SAVES MONEY TOO!
Crushed glass is less dense than other sandblasting medias.
This means greater productivity due to more blast time between pot refills, and less material will be used, which reduces both disposal and media costs.
Benefits of Glass Blast:

Efficiently Cleans steel, aluminum, wood, concrete, stone, fiberglass
Excellent replacement to silica sand
Excellent for use as a separator or barrier with concrete pavers and forms. A layer of 2040 crushed glass prevents concrete forms from sticking to each other during the curing process and can be swept into the grout cracks during installation
Glass Blast will leave a clean, bright finish to metal surfaces
Excellent for achieving an aggressive profile for coatings, including cathodic protection and overlay performance
Glass delivers very low particle embedment (less than 2%) which produces a whiter (SP-10) finish to the substrate.
Lighter weight than most abrasives. Contractors report back that they use at least 25% less abrasive (some say up to 50% less) when using glass as compared to mineral slags
SAFE – no free silica, is chemically inert and non toxic, heavy metal free in most cases
Inert – can use it around water
Mohs Hardness of 6.0 – similar to slags
Superior rust-back performance when compared with mineral/slag abrasives
Many tests confirm less dust when blasting with glass vs mineral slags – up to 31% less dust generated
Contains No Beryllium like mineral slags do
Uniform Density
Dust is translucent! No visual barrier to the blasting operator and does not leave black dust all over
A great alternative to coal slag. Contains no beryllium and will not leave black dust all over
Great for thick, softer coatings because it is a lighter weight abrasive. It does not “bounce” back off the surface. It cuts it like a knife
Great for concrete and leaves no residue, discoloration, odor, imbedding, or ferrous impingement.
Excellent additive for seal coating operations!
Excellent replacement for soda blasting due to its lower cost and it will not leave a PH imbalance on the substrate (which often requires a PH wash solution so that the paint will adhere). Glass will also cut through rust, and soda blast will not
