Applications of Glass Beads Abrasive
- Surface finishing- Glass Bead blasting can be used on an extended range of substances with glass, plastic, metal, and rubber. The littler the glass spheres, the evener the surface; greater spheres produce an extra textured finish. To defend special areas or in detail aquatint resolves, areas can be effortlessly masked with tape.
- Cleaning- Glass Bead blasting eliminates foreign elements from the external without a dimensional alteration to the surface. A wide range of bead sizes is available. For example: removing paint, degreasing, light corrosion, and nearly any other surface pollutants. Glass beads may also be utilized to make surfaces for paint adhesion, gasket sealing, or lubrication retention.
- Deburring- Glass Bead blasting removes burrs, and feathered edges, and alternates from portions in an accuracy process. Corners and edges must be deburred with accuracy to assemble and operate correctly. Glass bead blasting promises that no base metal from the exterior is removed. Gentle and finished areas may be easily masked for protection.
- Shot peening- Peening with this type of abrasive is a less-cost form of generating an unchanging surface coating of crushed stress in alloy materials. Peening turns to combat stress cracks and rust, resulting in a growing life of metal portions. The high degree of chubbiness of our Glass Bead media progresses the performance of stress confrontation processes.
Glass Beads Abrasive Details
Glass Beads abrasive are glass spheres that are solid. They are not to be confused with costume jewelry that has a hole in it. They're made of high-quality soda-lime silica glass with a SiO2 content of roughly 70%. They don't contain any lead, iron, or silica. For the most part, they are made out of colorless glass. They can be made from a variety of materials other than soda-lime silica glass, as well as colored glass, depending on the needs of the customer. The normal size range is 5 mm to 0.1 mm but sizes larger than 5 mm can be made based on the needs of the customer.
These are used in sand blasting cabinet for honing, polishing, peening, blending, finishing, removing light burrs, and cleaning most light foreign matter. We are offering these abrasives at a low cost in the market.
It is built up utilizing lead-free, soda lime-type glass, comprising no free silica which is then molded into preformed ball figures. Chemically inactive and ecologically friendly, it is an adequate technique of metal cleaning or superficial finishing when properly measured. it is extremely made use of in the influence treatment of exterior. Their spherical figure and chemical nature provide them with a variety of features.
They are made as faultless spheres with an even, shining surface. They are able to succeed in succeeding granulometric series of 1 to 1000 microns.

Glass Bead for Road Marking
The reflective effectiveness of road marking paint can be improved by using reflective road marking glass beads. The light from the car lights is reflected back onto the marking lines by glass beads, allowing the driver to see the direction of travel and improving nighttime driving safety.
Glass sand (waste glass) is melted at high temperatures to create road reflecting glass beads, which are a type of fine glass sphere. Under a microscope, glass beads for road marking are round, colorless, transparent, and have a refractive index of 1.5-1.64. The diameter varies between 44 and 1400 microns.
Our reflective road paint beads are made of window glass, and the color is white and clean. Reflective micro glass beads will work well when used on a marking line, and the roundness is greater than 80%, ensuring reflectivity.
On city road lines, highway pavement, and guardrail outlines, glass beads are commonly used for road marking.
We have mature solutions of glass beads for paint, such as Intermix glass beads, Drop On Glass Beads, and High Index Reflective Glass Beads, based on our many years of expertise in the manufacturing of reflective road paint beads.
Advantages of Glass Bead
- The glass beads are completely harmless.
- Unlike steel shots or grit, there is no remaining iron to worry about rusting.
- Glass beads may be easily recycled and reused multiple times.
Glass Bead Price in India
As compared to other manufacturers our glass bead price is low & affordable in India. Glass bead price varies according to its shape & size. Abrasive blasting can be done with Glass Beads in a variety of ways. Cleaning automobile parts, castings, and deburring rough edges from castings and gears may all be done with larger sizes. For merging surface imperfections and functioning with aluminum and stainless steel parts, medium sizes are available, with a glossy to a matte finish. Fine sizes are suitable for light-duty jobs since they allow for precise detail work.
