Angular Recycled Glass for Industrial Blasting
Crushed Glass 16 mesh is manufactured from post-consumer recycled glass, processed into a sharp, angular grain that cuts through rust, mill scale, and old coatings efficiently. The 16 mesh particle size offers a balanced combination of cleaning speed and surface profile, suitable for a wide range of blasting specifications. Unlike mineral slags or sand, this media contains no free silica, reducing health risks for operators and simplifying spent-media disposal in many regions.
This abrasive is commonly used in dry blasting cabinets, pressure blasting pots, and open-nozzle blasting operations. Its angular shape provides a mechanical etching action that promotes excellent adhesion for subsequent coatings. The consistent particle distribution helps maintain a uniform surface finish across large workpieces, from structural steel to concrete restoration projects.
Key Performance Characteristics
When evaluating Crushed Glass 16 mesh for your blasting process, consider these operational factors:
- Aggressive cutting action: The angular particles remove tough coatings faster than round glass beads, reducing blasting time on heavily corroded surfaces.
- Silica-free composition: Eliminates the silicosis risk associated with silica sand blasting, supporting safer workplace compliance.
- Moderate dust generation: Produces less dust than coal slag or copper slag abrasives, improving visibility during blasting.
- Single-pass economy: Designed for one-time use in most applications, delivering consistent performance without the variability of reclaimed media.
- Inert chemistry: Leaves no chemical residue on the substrate, making it suitable for applications requiring high coating integrity.
