What is the specific use of GB-10 (Grade AF) glass beads in sand blasting? GB-10 glass beads, featuring a micron range of 90–150 microns, are primarily used for high-precision cleaning, finishing, and light deburring. Because of their fine particle size, they are the ideal choice for creating a smooth satin finish on delicate components used in the medical, aerospace, and automotive industries without altering the underlying dimensions of the part.

Are glass beads better than steel grit for surface finishing? While steel grit is preferred for aggressive material removal and heavy etching, glass bead abrasives are superior for finishing tasks where a non-contaminated, bright surface is required. Glass beads are chemically inert, meaning they won’t cause “after-rust” on stainless steel or aluminum, making them safer for high-sanitation environments like pharmaceutical and food processing infrastructure.

How does the 90–150 micron size impact blasting efficiency? The 90–150 micron (AF Grade) range provides a perfect balance between coverage and impact energy. It is fine enough to reach into tight tolerances and threads while remaining heavy enough to remove heat scale and oxidation efficiently. This specific size ensures a uniform matte texture across the entire surface, which is essential for components requiring a professional, non-reflective aesthetic.

Can GB-10 glass beads be reused in a blasting cabinet? Yes, high-quality spherical glass beads are designed for durability. In a standard sand blasting cabinet, these beads can be recycled multiple times. Their high resistance to fracturing ensures lower dust levels and consistent finishing results throughout the blasting cycle, making them a cost-effective solution for industrial surface treatment.

Why Choose GB-10 Glass Beads for Sand Blasting?

1. Precision Surface Finishing The 90–150 micron size is ideal for achieving a smooth, satin, or matte finish. It effectively removes minor surface imperfections, light burrs, and corrosion while ensuring the base metal remains untouched.

2. Non-Contaminating & Eco-Friendly As a chemically inert abrasive, our glass beads do not leave any unwanted residue or ferrous contamination on the surface. This makes them the preferred choice for stainless steel fabrication, medical devices, and aerospace components.

3. Stress Relief & Peening Beyond cleaning, the spherical impact of the beads provides a light peening effect, which helps in relieving tensile stress and increasing the fatigue life of metal parts.

4. High Durability & Reusability Manufactured to resist shattering upon impact, these beads maintain their shape longer than low-quality alternatives, offering better cost-efficiency through multiple blasting cycles.


Key Applications

  • Cleaning: Removing heat scale, rust, and carbon deposits from engine parts and molds.

  • Finishing: Creating a uniform aesthetic finish on aluminum, brass, and stainless steel.

  • Deburring: Smoothing sharp edges without changing the part’s dimensions.

  • Surface Prep: Preparing surfaces for coating, bonding, or painting.


Industry Standards & Compatibility

Our GB-10 abrasive is compatible with both suction-fed and pressure-fed blasting cabinets. It meets rigorous industrial standards for roundness and sieving accuracy, ensuring a blockage-free operation in your sand blasting machine.

Pro Tip: For optimal results with the AF Grade (90–150 micron), maintain a blasting angle of 45° to 60° to maximize the cleaning efficiency and bead longevity.
