Glass Bead

Glas-Shot® microbeads are widely used in the impact treatment of surfaces. Glas-Shot® is spherical with a smooth, polished surface and a density of approximately 2.5g/cm3. During use, each microbead acts like a small hammer on the surface being treated. When surfaces are impacted with Glas-Shot®, the process is clean, safe and user-friendly. Glas-Shot® is used in all types of compressed air blast equipment, using a dry or wet process.
