Crushed Glass 90 mesh

Angular Recycled Glass Abrasive for Industrial Blasting

Crushed Glass 90 mesh is manufactured from post-consumer recycled glass, processed into angular particles that cut through rust, mill scale, and existing coatings efficiently. The angular shape provides a high etch rate, while the 90-mesh particle size ensures a consistent, fine surface profile. This media is commonly used in air blast and wheel blast systems where a balance between cleaning speed and surface smoothness is required.

Because it is silica-free, Crushed Glass 90 mesh eliminates the risk of silicosis associated with silica sand blasting. It is chemically inert, non-reactive, and leaves no embedded residue that could interfere with subsequent welding, coating adhesion, or non-destructive testing. The media is single-use but environmentally preferable due to its recycled content and absence of hazardous heavy metals typically found in coal or copper slags.

Typical Applications for 90 Mesh Crushed Glass

• Fine surface preparation: Achieving a uniform anchor profile on thin-gauge metals, aluminum, and fiberglass before painting or powder coating.
• Rust and paint removal: Stripping light to moderate corrosion and old coatings from structural steel, tanks, and piping without excessive metal removal.
• Mill scale removal: Cleaning hot-rolled steel surfaces to a near-white or white metal finish (SSPC-SP 10 / NACE No. 2).
• Concrete and masonry cleaning: Light etching or cleaning of concrete surfaces, removing laitance, graffiti, or light soiling.
• Automotive and restoration work: Stripping body panels and components where a fine finish and minimal substrate damage are critical.

Selection and Handling Guidance

When selecting Crushed Glass 90 mesh, consider your target surface profile depth, substrate hardness, and blasting equipment setup. The 90-mesh grade is finer than coarser 20/40 or 40/70 mesh options, making it suitable for applications where a smoother finish is specified. Always confirm compatibility with your blast nozzle size, air pressure (typically 80–100 PSI), and stand-off distance. For optimal results, use with a metering valve or abrasive regulator to control media flow and avoid clogging in smaller orifice nozzles.

Store Crushed Glass abrasive in a dry, covered area. Moisture absorption can cause clumping and inconsistent flow through blast pots and metering systems. If using bulk totes or drums, ensure proper sealing between uses. This media generates dust during blasting; adequate containment, dust collection, and operator PPE (respiratory protection, blast suit, gloves) are essential.
