Crushed Glass 40 mesh

Angular Recycled Glass Abrasive for Blast Cleaning

Crushed Glass 40 mesh is manufactured from post-consumer recycled glass, processed into an angular, aggressive blast media. The 40 mesh particle size provides a balance between cleaning speed and surface profile, making it suitable for a range of industrial blasting applications. Unlike spherical glass beads used for peening, crushed glass is sharp and angular, designed to cut through coatings, rust, and mill scale efficiently.

This abrasive is commonly used in air blast and wheel blast equipment for surface preparation prior to painting, coating, or lining. It is silica-free, heavy metal-free, and produces a clean, bright surface finish. The media is single-use in most aggressive blasting operations, though it can be recycled a limited number of times depending on blast pressure and substrate hardness.

Typical Industrial Applications

• Steel surface preparation: Removal of rust, mill scale, and old coatings from structural steel, tanks, and vessels before protective coating application.
• Concrete cleaning: Surface profiling and cleaning of concrete floors, walls, and precast elements without deep substrate damage.
• Marine blasting: Hull cleaning and maintenance blasting on ships, barges, and offshore structures where silica sand is restricted.
• Industrial equipment maintenance: Cleaning of process equipment, heat exchangers, and machinery components in manufacturing plants.
• Architectural restoration: Gentle yet effective cleaning of brick, stone, and masonry surfaces where a medium profile is acceptable.

Selection and Handling Guidance

When selecting Crushed Glass 40 mesh, consider your blast nozzle size, air pressure (typically 80–100 PSI), and desired surface profile. The 40 mesh grade produces a profile range suitable for most industrial coating systems. For heavier coatings or faster stripping, a coarser grade may be more appropriate. For delicate substrates, a finer mesh may be preferred. SPA2Z can assist with grade selection based on your specific blasting parameters and coating specification.

Store Crushed Glass abrasive in a dry, covered area. Moisture absorption can cause clumping and affect flow through metering valves and blast pots. Always use appropriate dust collection and respiratory protection during blasting operations, even with silica-free media.
