Glass Beads 90 mesh

Controlled Peening and Cosmetic Finishing with 90 Mesh Glass Beads

When your process demands a smooth, matte, or satin finish without removing base material, 90 mesh glass beads deliver repeatable results. The spherical shape and tight particle distribution of this media produce a uniform peening action, effectively relieving stress and improving the fatigue resistance of critical parts like springs, gears, and turbine blades. Unlike angular abrasives that cut or profile, glass beads hammer and flow, leaving a non-directional, aesthetically pleasing surface that resists dirt and fingerprints.

This 90 mesh grade is particularly effective for cleaning and finishing intricate components, aluminum castings, and stainless steel fabrications where surface integrity is paramount. It is chemically inert, leaving no ferrous residue that could cause corrosion on non-ferrous metals. The media is recyclable multiple times in properly maintained blast cabinets or blast rooms, offering a cost-effective solution for high-volume finishing operations.

Key Selection and Handling Considerations

To achieve optimal results with Glass Beads 90 mesh, it is critical to maintain clean, dry compressed air and use a pressure blast system for maximum velocity control. Operating pressure typically ranges between 40–80 PSI, depending on the substrate and desired finish. The media should be kept dry and free-flowing; moisture can cause clumping and inconsistent feed. Regular classification of the media during recycling helps remove fractured particles and maintain the spherical integrity needed for a true satin finish. SPA2Z can assist with guidance on compatible blast nozzles and air settings for your specific application.
