The quality of glass beads is an important consideration. In addition to color and size, they are
also safe and effective in abrasive blasting process. Compared to other blast media, glass beads
can reduce the risk of silicosis and other health issues. They can clean a surface for several
cycles, usually four to six, and can be used in both pressure and suction blasting equipment. For
example, a glass bead is used to clean a steel floor.
