We constantly developing the abrasive blasting process in many ways: the quality of the cleaned surface, safety and comfort of the operator and cost optimization. The important step was introducing the high-quality glass abrasive media – the glass grit.
Glass grit is a modern abrasive made by crushing the panes of special sodium glass. Thanks to chemical properties and high purity it is used as an alternative for white fused alumina.
The biggest advantage of glass grit is its chemical composition. It does not contain iron and heavy metals, which can be easily found in other abrasives, and are the great danger for the operator the surface quality. Glass grit is used for cleaning stainless steel; aluminium, copper and other non-ferrous metals and alloys; plastics; wood, stone, glass etc.
