Description:
Crushed Glass is a 100% recycled abrasive product that can be used in a wide variety of applications. It cuts through mill scale and rust, providing a uniform mil profile while providing lower particle embedment than most other abrasives. This low-dusting abrasive enhances the natural luster of the surface without discoloration.
Common Uses:
- Architectural precast & concrete applications
- Brick & limestone restoration work
- Bridge construction, steel fabrication
- Pipelines & refineries
- Shipyards
- Wet abrasive blasting (slurry/vapor blasting)
