Glass bead blasting and abrasive solutions are essential for various industrial applications, primarily focusing on surface preparation, cleaning, coating removal, and finishing. These processes use abrasive materials and blasting techniques to clean, smooth, or etch surfaces. They are widely used in industries such as construction, automotive, aerospace, metalworking, marine, and oil and gas.
Glass bead blasting involves propelling small glass beads (typically made from soda-lime glass) at a surface at high velocity using compressed air or other methods like centrifugal force. The beads impact the surface, creating a gentle cleaning effect while leaving behind a smooth, matte finish.
The process is often referred to as bead blasting or glass bead peening when it’s used to improve the fatigue resistance of metal parts.
In our daily life, the bright, sparkling spoons, cups, bowls, and various decorations have been polished or ground. We are mainly committed to providing high-quality industrial glass beads for road marking and other industrial uses. Micro glass beads play a very important role in road safety and industry.
We supply glass bead blasting & abrasive solutions involves offer a range of products and services to meet the diverse needs of industries that require abrasive blasting for surface preparation, cleaning, finishing, and other applications.
In the industrial field, sandblasting plays a particularly important role:
Electroplating, painting, spraying, etc. are covered by sandblasting before processing, the surface is absolutely clean, and the adhesion and corrosion resistance of the cover layer are greatly improved.
Metal parts such as castings, stampings, welded parts, heat-treated parts, etc., descaling, residue, and dirt; surface cleaning of non-metallic products, removal of black spots on the surface of ceramic blanks, and reduction of lacquer patterns.
Renovation and cleaning of all moving parts such as automobiles, motorcycles, and electromechanical equipment. At the same time eliminates fatigueand stress and extends service life.
All metal products and non-metal products (plastic, crystal, glass, etc.) surface marks are eliminated, matt matte treatment, so that the surface of the product is upgraded.
The argon matte surface treatment of the mold surface, graphic production, and mold cleaning do not hurt the mold surface, to ensure mold accuracy.
The micro-burrs of the machined parts are removed, and the broken edges of the injection parts are eliminated.
Defective cover removal, poor surface coloration, and printing removal.
Increase the surface hardness of metal parts and eliminate stress, such as surface treatment of aircraft blades, springs, machine tools, and weapons.
Metal products, non-metal products, surface etching patterns, text, and anti-slip treatment, such as marble, handle slip, seal, and stone lettering.
The denim, whitish, and whisker effects of the denim are achieved.
Ten Roads Glass offers the best glass beads for road marking manufacturers.
Before supplying glass bead blasting and abrasive solutions for you, it’s essential to understand the various industries and applications that require such services. These include:
○ Aerospace
○ Automotive
○ Medical devices
○ Electronics
○ Construction and Infrastructure
○ Jewelry and decorative arts
○ Metalworking and Manufacturing
○ Restoration services
○ Shipbuilding and marine applications
Each of these industries may have different requirements for abrasive materials, equipment, and services.
To offer glass bead blasting solutions, we'll supply a range of abrasive materials, with glass beads being the main product. Other types of abrasives may also be needed for different types of blasting tasks.
▶ Regular Glass Beads: These are the most common beads used for general-purpose applications. They provide a smooth and satin finish on various surfaces, such as metal, plastic, and glass.
Size Range: 50-150 microns
Applications: Polishing, cleaning, deburring, surface preparation
▶ High-Performance Glass Beads: These are designed for heavy-duty use and provide a more durable and longer-lasting abrasive material.
Applications: Automotive parts, aerospace components, engine parts
▶ Micro Glass Beads: These are used for precision applications, such as etching and fine cleaning of small parts.
Applications: Electronics, precision machining, small metal or glass parts
▶ Colored Glass Beads: These are used for decorative applications, often to create artistic finishes on glass or metal.
Applications: Jewelry making, decorative signage, artwork
▶ Specialty Glass Beads: These may include beads that are designed for specific purposes, such as high-temperature resistance or anti-static properties.
Applications: Medical device finishing, high-temperature industrial applications
▶ Other Abrasive Materials You Can Supply:
Aluminum Oxide: Ideal for heavy-duty cleaning and etching on metals.
Steel Grit and Shot: For aggressive cleaning and peening.
Sand (Silica and Other): For rust removal and surface preparation in non-precision applications.
Plastic Beads: For softer materials where less impact is required.
Certain industries may require custom solutions for their specific needs. Offering customization for abrasive products and blasting equipment can give you an edge over competitors. Examples of customization include:
○ Customized glass bead sizes based on client requirements.
○ Custom abrasive mixtures (e.g., glass beads mixed with other abrasives like aluminum oxide or steel grit for specific finishing).
○ Tailored blast cabinets or rooms designed to handle unique or larger-sized parts.
We provide valuable support to customers by offering technical consultation services:
Surface analysis: Helping customers identify the best abrasive for their needs based on the material, surface, and desired finish.
Blasting process optimization: Advising customers on how to adjust pressure, media flow, or blasting techniques for the best results.
As a glass bead blasting supplier, we ensure that the glass bead blasting solutions we offer meet industry safety standards and regulations. This includes:
Material safety data sheets (MSDS): Providing clients with information on the handling, storage, and disposal of glass beads and other glass abrasives.
Equipment safety compliance: Ensuring that the blasting equipment you supply complies with relevant safety standards like OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) or ISO (International Organization for Standardization).
We have a strict glass sandblasting quality management system to ensure that the quality of the products meets the requirements.
We can also provide you with customized glass-blasted solutions to help you improve efficiency and reduce costs in future project work.
