Blasting Abrasive
FOR FINE TO AGGRESSIVE BLASTING APPLICATIONS
Glass
grit is a totally inert material that out performs traditional abrasive materials at far less risk to employees as well as
the environment. Conventional blasting materials are being labeled as the "new asbestos". Using crushed recycled glass in place of sand or slag avoids respiratory and environmental issues.
INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY AND PROFITS - •Weighs
less/less dense than other abrasives
- •Produces more
volume per ton
Produces more volume per ton - •Less disposal
costs
Less disposal costs - •Uses less
materials by up to 50%
- •Easier clean up
- •Can
be recycled an infinate number of times
- •Less clogging/less
down time
- •Faster results over standard
blasting media
- •Hardness of 5.0-6.0 on MOH’s
Hardness Scale
OUTSTANDING RESULTS
- •Chloride and salt free-leads to less
corrosion on prepared surfaces
- •More resistant to “rust
back”
- •Angular
shape produces a “white metal” finish
- •Ability to
cut/and or clean many different surfaces
- •Excellent
anchor pattern for paint or other coatings
•
• SAFER FOR WORKERS ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND - •Contains no crystalline silica, proven to cause serious or fatal respiratory illness
- •Free
of heavy metals and toxic contaminates typically found in coal or mineral slags
- •Smooth, non porous surface-bacteria,
fungi and mold do not grow
- •Provides a safer working environment
RECYCLED MATERIAL – NOT STRIP MINED
GOVERNMENT RECCOMENDED AND APPROVED - •Meets Federal
Government abrasive specifications MIL-A-22262(SH)
- •Both Coarse
Grit (10-40) and Medium Grit (40-70) have been added to Qualified Product List
Both Coarse Grit (10-40) and
Medium Grit (40-70) have been added to Qualified Product List (QPL) by the US Navy under MIL-A-2262-B Amendment
