FUNCTION:
Used on a wide range of materials including metal, glass, plastic, and rubber. The smaller the glass spheres, the smoother the textured surface.

CLEANING: Glass Bead blasting removes/cleans foreign substances from the surface without a dimensional change to the surface.  

DEBURRING: Glass Bead blasting removes burrs, feathered edges, from parts in a precision operation.  Corners and edges must be deburred with precision to assemble and operate properly.  Glass Bead blasting guarantees that no base metal from the surface is removed.

PEENING: Peening with Glass Bead is a low-cost form of creating a uniform surface layer of compressed stress in alloy substances.  Peening acts to combat stress cracks and corrosion, resulting in increasing the life of metal parts.
