Key Advantages of GB-08 (125–250 Microns)
1. High-Impact Cleaning & Stripping The larger mass of the 125–250 micron particles provides the kinetic energy necessary to strip heavy oxidation, thick heat scale, and stubborn coatings. It works significantly faster than finer grades on large industrial surfaces.
2. Superior Metal Peening & Stress Relief Grade AC is frequently used for shot peening of metal components. The impact of these larger spherical beads helps condense the metal surface, relieving tensile stress and significantly improving the fatigue life and durability of critical parts.
3. Deep Satin Finishing While still maintaining a “satin” look, GB-08 creates a deeper, more textured matte finish. This is ideal for blending tool marks, hiding weld seams, and preparing surfaces for high-performance industrial coatings or bonding.
4. Maximum Durability Due to their larger diameter, these beads are exceptionally resilient. They can withstand higher blasting pressures without fracturing, leading to a longer service life and reduced dust levels in your blasting cabinet.
