Glass bead Abrasive (GB-09/ AD Grade)

Original price was: ₹100.00.Current price is: ₹70.00.

What is the difference between GB-09 (AD) and GB-10 (AF) glass beads? While GB-10 is finer (90–150 microns) for delicate finishing, GB-09 (106–212 microns) offers a larger particle size that provides higher kinetic energy upon impact. This makes the AD grade more efficient for removing heavier rust or scale while still delivering a smooth, professional matte surface.

Is Grade AD glass bead media safe for aluminum parts? Absolutely. GB-09 glass beads are non-reactive and non-contaminating. Unlike steel or iron abrasives, they do not leave particles embedded in the surface that could lead to galvanic corrosion, making them essential for aluminum and specialty alloy maintenance.

How many times can I recycle GB-09 glass beads in my machine? Under standard operating pressures (usually 40–60 PSI), these high-durability beads can be recycled approximately 10 to 30 times depending on the hardness of the target surface. Their spherical integrity ensures low dust generation and consistent results throughout their lifespan.

High-Performance Glass Bead Abrasive | GB-09 (Grade AD) | 106–212 Microns

Achieve the perfect balance of cleaning power and surface refinement with our GB-09 (Grade AD) Glass Bead Abrasive. Featuring a versatile 106–212 micron size range, this media is engineered for industrial applications that require slightly more impact energy than finer grades, while still maintaining a flawlessly smooth, non-directional finish.

Technical Specifications

  • Grade: GB-09 / Grade AD

  • Micron Range: 106 – 212 Microns

  • Shape: Precision Spherical Glass Spheres

  • Composition: High-quality Soda-lime glass

  • Roundness: ≥ 80% (Industrial Grade)

  • Hardness: 6–7 Mohs

Why Utilize GB-09 (106–212 Microns) for Surface Treatment?

1. Medium-Impact Cleaning The 106–212 micron range is specifically designed to tackle tougher surface contaminants like medium heat scale, heavy oxidation, and stubborn carbon deposits. It provides a faster cleaning rate than finer powders without the aggression of metallic grits.

2. Consistent Satin-Matte Finish Grade AD is the “goldilocks” size for aesthetics. It produces a uniform satin-matte finish that effectively hides machining marks and scratches on aluminum and stainless steel, making it the top choice for consumer-facing metal products.

3. Dimensional Stability Despite its increased cleaning efficiency, the spherical shape ensures that no metal is removed from the workpiece. This allows for precise cleaning of threaded parts, delicate molds, and engine components where maintaining strict tolerances is critical.

4. Optimized Flow in Blasting Equipment The 106–212 micron sizing is perfectly suited for both pressure and suction blasting systems. Its uniform density prevents clogging in nozzles and ensures a steady, predictable flow for automated blasting lines.

Primary Applications

  • Automotive Restoration: Cleaning cylinder heads, intake manifolds, and transmission casings.

  • Aerospace Maintenance: Removing paint and scale from sensitive turbine components.

  • Stainless Steel Fabrication: Blasting welds to create a seamless, high-end aesthetic.

  • Molding Industry: Cleaning rubber and plastic injection molds without damaging the mold profile.
