ABRASIVE

Crushed Glass blasting abrasive consists of inert soda-lime glass, crushed and sized according to specifications. Widely used in many applications, it's angular geometry will remove contaminants and effectively profile substrates. 

Crushed Glass is a very effective blasting abrasive and an excellent choice where mineral abrasive contamination is prohibited. We carry a high quality white glass that is classified to ensure a uniform blast pattern. Crushed Glass is a preferred abrasive for outdoor blasting operations because of its low cost and blasting effectiveness.
