Crushed Glass 80 mesh

Why Choose Crushed Glass 80 Mesh for Blasting?

Unlike spherical glass beads used for peening, crushed glass fractures on impact, creating sharp, angular particles that cut through tough coatings efficiently. The 80 mesh size (approx. 177–250 microns) offers a balance between cleaning speed and surface profile control, making it suitable for both heavy-duty stripping and finer finishing work where a moderate anchor pattern is acceptable.

This abrasive is manufactured from post-consumer recycled glass, reducing landfill waste and providing a safer alternative to mineral slags and silica sand. It contains less than 1% free silica, helping operators comply with stringent occupational health and safety regulations. The inert, non-metallic nature of the glass also means it leaves no ferrous residue on the substrate, reducing the risk of flash rusting before coating application.

Typical Applications

• Steel surface preparation: Removes rust, mill scale, and old paint from structural steel, tanks, and pipelines before painting or powder coating.
• Concrete cleaning: Strips dirt, laitance, and coatings from concrete floors, walls, and bridge decks without damaging the aggregate.
• Marine maintenance: Effective on ship hulls, decks, and ballast tanks where a clean, chloride-free surface is critical.
• Automotive restoration: Strips body panels and chassis components without warping thin metal when used with appropriate pressure.

Handling and Selection Tips

Crushed Glass 80 mesh performs best in dry blasting systems, including pressure pot and siphon-fed setups. For optimal results, maintain air pressure between 80–100 PSI and keep the abrasive dry. Because the media fractures on impact, it generates a moderate amount of dust; adequate ventilation and operator PPE are essential. The 80 mesh grade is often selected when a surface profile of 2–3 mils is targeted, but always verify compatibility with your coating system's requirements.
