Crushed Recycled Glass is ecofriendly and an angular media that can be used in abrasive blasting, wet blasting, dry blasting. It is crystal clear and ideal for coating removal, surface preparation and offered in a range of sizes.

Made from 100% recycled glass, this abrasive creates a sharp profile and is useful in removing a variety of coatings. It produces a whiter, cleaner finish than slags and mineral sands. Crushed glass is the abrasive of choice for preparing concrete or wood.

Abrasive blasting, more commonly known as sandblasting, is the operation of forcibly propelling a stream of abrasive material against a surface under high pressure to

• smooth a rough surface
• roughen a smooth surface
• shape a surface, or,
• remove surface contaminants

A pressurized fluid, typically compressed air, or a centrifugal wheel is used to propel the blasting material (often called the media)

A coating is only as good as the preparation of the underlying surface. Therefore, choosing the right abrasive is key to achieving a coating application that lasts. With the right abrasive, you’ll maximize profits by getting the job done faster while expending the minimum volume of abrasive.

As a general rule, the blaster should use the finest abrasive necessary to attain the required surface preparation characteristics. A fine abrasive will give you more impacts per volume. The more particles in the stream, the more work is accomplished in the same time. When blasting concrete or wood, you don’t need a hard, expensive abrasive, or a coarse particle: crushed glass makes an excellent, inexpensive choice for work on relatively soft surfaces.
