ALC Tools Glass Bead Blasting Media Medium Grit

ALC Tools Glass Bead Blasting Media in medium grit is an abrasive blast media for cabinet and recovery-system blasting. It is useful for abrasive blasting, sandblasting and surface finishing jobs. It produces a clean, bright satin or matte finish and does not change the dimensions of the part.

Key Features:

• Lead-free glass: Made from soda lime-type glass that contains no free silica.
• Satin or matte finish: Gives a smooth, bright finish without changing part dimensions.
• Versatile uses: Suited to honing, polishing, peening, blending, finishing, deburring light burrs and cleaning light foreign matter.
• Surface prep: Removes light rust, corrosion, carbon, and paint or coatings from aluminum, steel and other metals.
• Gentle on delicate work: Peening with glass bead gives stress relief on thin-walled parts and thin welds without over-stressing them.
• Reclaimable: Works well in blast cabinets and recycling systems, so the media can be reused.
• Glass etching: Can also be used for glass etching projects where a smooth finish is wanted.

Choose the nozzle size to suit the grit. The nozzle opening should be about three to four times larger than the abrasive grit size. Larger nozzles need more CFM of air. This media works well for restoring automotive and motorcycle parts, such as aluminum castings and manifolds.
