    GLASS BEADS - INDUSTRIAL

    TRADE NAME STARBEAD® INDUSTRIAL BEADS


    DESCRIPTION Starbead® are high quality glass micro spheres resulting from the specialised
    processing of selected glass cullet.

    FUNCTION Starbead® is a versatile blasting media used in a variety of applications.


    Finishing: Used on a wide range of materials including metal, glass, plastic and
    rubber. The smaller the glass spheres, the smoother the textured surface.
    Cleaning: Glass Bead blasting removes/cleans foreign substances from the
    surface without a dimensional change to the surface.
    Deburring: Glass Bead blasting removes burrs, feathered edges, from parts in
    a precision operation. Corners and edges must be deburred with precision to
    assemble and operate properly. Glass Bead blasting guarantees that no base
    metal from the surface is removed.
    Peening: Peening with Glass Bead is a low-cost form of creating a uniform
    surface layer of compressed stress in alloy substances. Peening acts to combat
    stress cracks and corrosion, resulting in increasing the life of metal parts.
