with #13, the smallest, being as fine as powder,
and #1, the largest, sized from 1- 2mm in diameter.
Quality
GLASS BEAD
is an excellent media to provide smooth,
bright, contamination-free finishes.
.
These hard round particles close up surface roughness and porosity by peening.
This helps prevent corrosion, resist rust, staining and fingerprints,
and provides a bright, tight new surface.
.
Peening of most any surface (other than light sheet metal)
can help its appearance and longevity,
whether it is to be painted, plated, powder-coated, or left bare.
.
Peening helps to combat stress-risers that can produce cracks
and increase fatigue resistance to critical parts,
retarding fatigue and fatigue corrosion.
Being chemically inert, NON-TOXIC,
containing virtually NO SILICA,
GLASS BEAD
will not leave any undesirable
or ferrous residue on blasted surfaces.
.
Uncontaminated spent media is ENVIRONMENTALLY HARMLESS.
Some Uses of #5 GLASS BEAD:
Larger Glass Beads, such as GB-5, peen to deeper zones that smaller sized beads.
Change surface textures and finishes
Good for blending and final finish on aluminum sand castings as well as other metals
Good for texturing aluminum parts
Decorative reflective spheres for hobby use
Weighting for life-like dolls when a finer bead size is needed
We recommend using
Glass
Abrasive
(as fine as practical)
to pre-blast most metal parts,
by cleaning thoroughly to white metal condition,
and then blasting with
GLASS BEAD
for the best results.
Or, if changing media is not a preferred option for you,
we offer a
GLASS ABRASIVE / GLASS BEAD
at the same price.
This
MEDIA BLEND
will not clean as fast or leave as good a finish
as the two medias used separately, but will do far better
than either media used exclusively to attain the benefits listed above.
If you would like to try our
MEDIA BLEND
rather than straight
GLASS BEAD
, specify "
MEDIA BLEND #505
"
as a notation to Seller when paying for your order in PayPal
or a separate e-mail to Tacoma Company at point of purchase.
(Other MEDIA BLENDS are available by request.)
