Borosilicate Glass Balls

- Color: Clear
- Max. Temperature: 400° F
- Fabrication: Annealed
Also called Pyrex and Schott glass, this glass resists clouding and pitting and is highly chemical and heat resistant. With a low rate of thermal expansion, it stays dimensionally stable during changes in temperature.

Multipurpose Abrasive Blasting Media

Particle mesh size is the number of holes in a 1"-square screen. As the mesh number gets larger, the number of holes per inch increases, the size of each individual hole decreases, and the media becomes finer. Grit refers to coarseness; the lower the number, the coarser the grit.
Glass Bead—Round beads remove carbon and surface residue for a smooth, bright finish. It is inert and leaves no residue. Peens aluminum and plastic.
Glass/Aluminum Oxide Grit—A mixture of glass bead and aluminum oxide removes tough corrosion in applications where 100% aluminum oxide is too aggressive.
Ground Glass—A lightweight alternative to sand and grit, it leaves a rough surface.

Resin Fillers

Add these hollow microspheres to epoxy, urethane, or polyester resins to reduce weight and shrinkage.
Glass microspheres are a good choice when water resistance or sanding is required.

Spacing Beads

Add these tiny glass spacers to structural and instant-bond adhesives to keep adhesive from squeezing out during clamping.
