    Borosilicate Glass Balls

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Glass. Borosilicate Glass Balls.
    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.

    Abrasive Blasting Media

    Remove paint, coatings, and rust or add texture to surfaces. This media is suitable for use on a wide variety of surface materials.
    Our abrasive blasting materials are sorted from least to most aggressive. The more aggressive the media, the more material it removes from your surface.
    Both particle mesh size and grit measure the size of the abrasive particles. The higher the number, the finer the particles are.
    Glass Bead
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated, Inset. Abrasive Blasting Media. Glass Bead.
    The most widely used abrasive blasting bead, glass bead cleans away rust and surface residue from any material to leave a smooth, bright finish. It has a round shape to peen soft materials such as plastic and aluminum, though it’s not hard enough to peen steel and stainless steel.
    Low Reusability—Effective for a handful of cycles under normal blasting conditions.
    MIL-PRF-9954—This media meets strict standards for particle size, shape, and material quality. It's certified to remove enough scale, rust, and paint to prep metal surfaces.
    SAE AMS2431/6D—Blast surfaces to a predictable, repeatable finish every time. This glass bead meets tighter tolerances for size, shape, and quality than bead rated MIL-PRF 9954.
