DESCRIPTION AND ADVANTAGES: :
Glass microbeads are a precision blasting media for damage-free cleaning, maintaining tolerances, and are also suitable for deburring and satin finishing applications on metal parts made of aluminum, brass, or stainless steel. Their chemical inertness (insolubility in water or oil) ensures no contamination of the treated parts.
High-quality, durable silico-sodo-calcium glass microbeads (free of free silica) are manufactured from recycled glass in France.
*Note that the pressure should not exceed 4 bar to avoid breaking the beads and producing angular glass.
