Crushed Glass Blasting Media

Crushed glass blast media is a fast cleaning, aggressive, low cost, single use abrasive that is made from recycled glass.  It directly reduces landfill waste and limits the use of more toxic slags (non-reactive and inert, it can be used near and around water).  Crushed glass contains less than 1% free silica and does not contain toxic metals associated with other abrasives. It also delivers a natural whiter metal finish. The dust produced when using glass abrasives is translucent which allows increased visibility and operator production.


KEY BENEFITS:

  • Fast cleaning leaving a white post-blast finish
  • It causes significantly less embedment issues—up to five times less than slags and many other expendable abrasives.
  • 100% recycled glass
  • Non-reactive, inert
  • Translucent white dust for increased visibility
  • Contains less than 1% free silica and does not contain toxic metals associated with other abrasives (silica sand contains up to 99% free silica).
  • SSPC AB-1 Class A, MIL-A-22262B(SH) approved
  • Readily available in several different sizes – Produced in the U.S.A.
