is a Medium Fine Glass Bead product.
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 plain.
.
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.
NOTE: Be aware that many media sellers
offer a GLASS
ABRASIVE
product and call it
GLASS
BEAD
at higher glass bead prices.
Quality
GLASS
BEAD
is round, should be consistent in size, low in fines,
and is best considered for peening
and final finishing to produce bright, tight surfaces.
GLASS
ABRASIVE
is angular, cuts fast
and is ideal for abrasive cleaning.
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.
Finer, more intricate parts or areas of parts
that have very sharp inside corners, threads, holes, etc.
should be peened with a size bead
that will adequately match the finest radii (rounded corners).
This is especially important if peening to spec.
Or, if changing media is not a preferred option for you,
we offer a
GLASS ABRASIVE / GLASS BEAD BLEND
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.
Some Uses of #7 GLASS BEAD:
Excellent, most commonly used mid-range bead for general purpose peening and polishing.
Leaves a bright finish on aluminum & other metals when used in the final blasting step.
Decorative reflective spheres for hobby use

The 3rd & 4th photos are specifically of GB-7.
If you would like to try our

"
as a notation to Seller when paying for your order
or in a separate e-mail to Tacoma Company at point of purchase.
