GLASS ABRASIVE #40 - Coarse - 25 lbs. - Sand Blast Cabinet BLASTING MEDIA

Description

Coarse Abrasive Blasting
Media
GLASS ABRASIVE #40
(Sieve range: 20-50)
25 lb. Box
This blast cleaning media is a sharp, angular, pure glass product,
with a Mohs hardness value of 5-6, made in the USA, for dry blasting.
GLASS ABRASIVE
is excellent for cleaning most materials,
with little risk of embedment of particles or
damaging of bearing or other sensitive hardened surfaces,
which is something that can take place with
slag medias, sand, or, certainly, with harder products like aluminum oxide.
GLASS ABRASIVE
is cleaner, safer, sharper,
and less likely to embed than coal slag
(Black Beauty

,
plus,
with
GLASS ABRASIVE
, you have the option of  7 different sieve (grit) sizes
to better match your profile preferences.
This
GLASS ABRASIVE
product is not to be confused with quality
GLASS BEAD
,
which is round and will peen, but is not very effective for cleaning.
GLASS ABRASIVE
will clean and profile for paint, or other re-surfacing,
five times faster and more effectively than
GLASS BEAD
,
at about 1/2 the purchase price,
and 2/3 the air pressure needed for
GLASS BEAD
.
This is because the spherical shape of
GLASS BEAD
will not cut well at all until it breaks,
at which point it quickly degenerates to dust and fines.
NOTE: Be aware that many media sellers
offer a GLASS
ABRASIVE
product and call it GLASS
BEAD
at higher glass bead prices.
Quality GLASS
BEAD
is round, should be consistent in size, low in fines,
and is best considered for peening and
final finishing to produce bright, tight surfaces.
GLASS
ABRASIVE
is angular and cuts fast.
GLASS ABRASIVE
has a lower density per pound than
GLASS BEAD
,
which allows for more particles to strike the work piece in an equal given period.
Our
GLASS ABRASIVE
contains virtually NO SILICA or heavy metals.
Being chemically inert and NON-TOXIC,
GLASS ABRASIVE
will not leave any
undesirable or ferrous residue on blasted surfaces.
Uncontaminated spent media is ENVIRONMENTALLY HARMLESS.
GLASS ABRASIVE #40:
An excellent choice for general purpose blasting
where one has been used to using sand or slag abrasives.
Safer, finer, cleaner and more uniform in size than sand and slag.
Will produce a smoother, less textured profile than sand and slag, requiring less primer if painted.
Use on heavier rusted and/or coated parts like car chassis, wheels, and other heavy metal components.
Glass Abrasive is a recycled glass material, therefore its color varies accordingly: from flecked white to light tan, light green, or light blue
(see photos
).
Virtually silica free.
Sharp, sub-angular particles; safe to handle.
