GLASS BEAD #9 - Fine - 25 lbs. - Sand Blast Cabinet BLASTING MEDIA

Description: Fine Blasting Media GLASS BEAD Mil Spec #9 25 lb. Box High quality mil spec GLASS BEAD made in the U.S.A. 5.5 on the Mohs hardness scale. Quality GLASS BEAD is an excellent media to provide smooth bright, contamination-free finishes. The hard round glass bead particles close up surface roughness and porosity by peening. This helps prevent corrosion, resists rust, staining, and fingerprints, and provides a bright, tight, new surface. Peening of most any surface (other than light sheet metal) can help its appearance and longevity, whether it is to be painted, plated, powder-coated, or left plain. Peening also helps to combat stress-risers that can produce cracks, and increase fatigue resistance to critical parts, retarding fatigue and fatigue corrosion. Very fine GLASS BEAD, such as this size #9, will peen and polish to a fine satin finish, leaving a nearly undetectable profile. It gives 1,000's more hits per second than a larger bead size, such as a #7, thus giving a finer finish. Being chemically inert and non-toxic, GLASS BEAD will not leave any undesirable or ferrous residue on blasted surfaces. Uncontaminated spent media is environmentally harmless. We recommend using GLASS ABRASIVE (as fine as practical) to pre-blast most metal parts, by cleaning thoroughly to a white metal condition, and then blasting with GLASS BEAD for the best results. Finer, more intricate parts or areas of parts that have very sharp inside corners, threads, holes, etc., should be peened with a size bead that will adequately match the finest radii (rounded corners). This is especially important if peening to spec. NOTE: Be aware that many media sellers offer a GLASS ABRASIVE product and call it GLASS BEAD at higher glass bead prices. Quality GLASS BEAD is round, should be consistent in size, low in fines, and is best considered for peening and final finishing to produce bright, tight surfaces. GLASS ABRASIVE is angular and cuts fast. ________________________________________ Remember : Quality mil spec GLASS BEAD is round, not angular. By itself it peens and polishes very well and will also clean looser adhering dirt, etc., but with a sharp media blended with it, as with our MEDIA BLENDS, you can also get a white metal finish AND peen (not to spec) at the same time. ________________________________________ This listing is for:Very Fine Blasting Media GLASS BEAD #9 -- or -- $51.70 for 25 lbs.
