Glass beads have many different applications and can be used for various industrial tasks. For example, they are great for removing paint and rust from metal surfaces as well as smoothing out wood surfaces. Glass beads can be used for preparing surfaces for painting and other finishing processes. Also, glass beads are used in deburring metal parts. They are an effective abrasive on plastic and rubber. They can be used for finishing and peening. Glass beads are useful when the introduction of another metal is prohibited. For example, if you have a coating that reacts to metal, glass beads will do the job.
Glass beads come in a variety of sizes. The size of glass beads has to match the application. The bead size will determine how well it removes rust, paint and other materials from the surface. The size will determine if you get a smoother or rougher finish. Small glass beads will make a surface very smooth and big glass beads will make a surface have a rougher finish.
