Grinding and Shot Blasting Glass Beads for Surface Treatment

SEPPE Grinding and Shot Blasting Glass Beads for Surface Treatment are selected spherical glass beads for blasting, cleaning, deburring, peening, grinding-assisted finishing and matte surface treatment. Compared with angular abrasives, glass beads clean mainly by gentle impact, helping create a smooth satin finish while reducing aggressive cutting marks. Particle size can be selected according to workpiece material, blasting equipment and required surface effect.

What Is Grinding and Shot Blasting Glass Beads for Surface Treatment?

• This product is a coarse glass bead blasting media designed for surface treatment applications where stronger impact and stable spherical shape are important.

• The selected blasting grade helps remove light contamination, smooth burrs and create a uniform matte finish while reducing deep scratches compared with angular abrasive grains.

• It can be used in blasting cabinets, pressure blasting systems and selected surface finishing processes according to equipment setup and workpiece requirements.

Key Performance Characteristics

Application-matched Particle Size: Coarser or finer particle size can be selected according to cleaning strength and finish requirements.

Spherical Blasting Action: Round particles clean mainly by impact, helping avoid excessive cutting into the base material.

Stable Surface Appearance: Uniform particle size and smooth bead surface help maintain consistent matte finishing results.

Good Flowability: Clean glass beads support stable feeding and circulation in blasting equipment.

Reusable Blasting Media: Suitable toughness and hardness support repeated use under controlled pressure conditions.

Main Application Scenarios

Metal Surface Treatment
General surface cleaning, matte finishing and preparation of steel, aluminum and stainless steel parts.
Grinding-assisted Finishing
Surface smoothing and light finishing where a rounded media profile is preferred.
Shot Blasting Cabinets
Use in cabinet blasting for parts cleaning, burr removal and consistent surface texture.
Mold & Tool Cleaning
Cleaning light residues from molds, fixtures, tools and machined components.
Shot Peening
Controlled impact processing for selected parts requiring stress relief or fatigue improvement.
Pre-plating Cleaning
Cleaning and burr reduction before tin plating or other surface treatment processes.

FAQ

?What are shot blasting glass beads used for?

• They are commonly used for shot blasting, surface treatment, matte finishing, burr removal and cleaning of metal parts.

?How should particle size be selected?

• Coarser grades provide stronger impact, while finer grades produce a more delicate finish. Final selection should follow workpiece material, equipment and required surface effect.

?Will it create deep scratches?

• Glass beads are spherical and work mainly by impact, so they generally create smoother finishes than angular abrasives under proper blasting conditions.

?Can the product be used in pressure blasting equipment?

• Yes. It can be used in suitable pressure blasting or cabinet blasting systems. Final settings should be adjusted according to the workpiece and finish requirement.
