Introduction

In the world of surface preparation and industrial blasting, abrasive crushed glass is quickly becoming the preferred choice. Derived from 100% recycled glass, this media is not only effective but also environmentally responsible. Whether you're removing rust, paint, or corrosion, crushed glass offers a clean, sharp, and dust-reduced performance compared to traditional abrasives.

What is Abrasive Crushed Glass?

Abrasive crushed glass is a type of blasting media made from post-consumer recycled glass. It is processed and cleaned to remove impurities, then crushed to specific grit sizes. The result is a sharp, angular media ideal for cleaning, surface profiling, and paint removal on a variety of substrates.

Key Benefits of Crushed Glass Abrasive

Eco-Friendly and Sustainable

Made from 100% recycled glass, it diverts waste from landfills and promotes sustainable practices in surface treatment industries.

Non-Toxic and Silica-Free

Unlike silica sand, crushed glass contains no free silica, reducing the health risks associated with inhalation and making it safer for operators.

Effective Cleaning Power

Its angular shape delivers superior surface cleaning and leaves a consistent finish, making it ideal for coating preparation.

Low Dust Production

Properly cleaned crushed glass generates less dust during blasting, ensuring better visibility and reducing cleanup time.

Versatile Applications

Used in industries such as shipbuilding, automotive, construction, and oil & gas for blasting steel, aluminum, wood, and concrete surfaces.

Common Applications

- Rust and Paint Removal
- Surface Preparation for Coatings
- Graffiti Removal
- Concrete Texturing and Cleaning
- Restoration Projects

Grit Sizes Available

Abrasive crushed glass is available in a wide range of grit sizes including:

- Fine (40/70)
- Medium (20/40)
- Coarse (10/20)

Each size is tailored to specific applications, from gentle cleaning to aggressive blasting
