Glass Beads 36 mesh

Why 36 Mesh Glass Beads for Surface Preparation

The 36 mesh size strikes a practical balance between cleaning speed and surface finish quality. It is coarse enough to remove light burrs, scale, and surface contaminants efficiently, yet fine enough to produce a uniform, low-stress satin or matte appearance. Because glass beads are spherical and free of sharp edges, they peen the surface rather than cut it, which can improve fatigue resistance in critical metal parts.

Typical Blasting and Peening Applications

This media is compatible with standard suction-fed and pressure-fed dry blasting cabinets, as well as wheel-type blasting equipment where media recirculation is designed for spherical abrasives. Common uses include:

• Shot peening of automotive and aerospace components to enhance fatigue life.
• Satin finishing of stainless steel fabrications, architectural metalwork, and consumer goods.
• Deburring and cleaning of aluminum die-castings, zinc castings, and non-ferrous parts.
• Surface preparation before plating, anodizing, or painting where a uniform matte profile is required.
