Our Products

Our blasting Glass products are manufactured from 100% recycled soda lime and borosilicate glass.

Real-life strategy to reach your goals.

We do not use any recycled colour bottle glass in our blasting glass which results in our product being mostly translucent in colour. Using these types of glass in our blasting glass it reduces the chemical deposition on the blasting surface.

Our products are also metal-free and will not transfer pigments or ferrous deposits onto the area that is being blasted therefore re-rust (Rust-back) is less like to be a concern on a blasted surface as it is with other abrasive blasting media. The blasting glass is also chemically inert which reduces any concern about residues that may affect the procedure that is required after blasting like, for example, painting.

The blasting glass is easily reusable as it will not absorb materials throughout a closed blasting process. Our product can be used during dry and wet blasting. The blasting glass is very well suited for any blasting close to a water source.

Our products have different grit sizes ranging from coarse to extra fine. The different grit sizes will help determine the surface profile that will remain after the blasting has taken place.

Our crushed glass is angular media which means that it has sharp edges which will cut into the material, leaving an anchor profile that will be ideal for a new finish to stick on.

Our B range of products

We strive for diversity across the globe

Our B range of products is made from Soda lime glass.

 

Our B0 product has the largest particulars. Our B1 Product is a great all-purpose blasting abrasive which is suitable for almost any job. Our B2 Product will be best suited for blasting projects which require a very fine blasting media and which don’t require a great amount of change in the surface profile.

Our BH range of products

We strive for diversity across the globe

Our BH range of products is made of Borrosilica glass.

This type of glass is significantly harder than soda lime glass and therefore is a lot more abrasive in nature and can be used as an alternative for garnet. The BH range came in the same grit sizes as the B range of products.

2 Major benefits of our products are:

It is Silica Free

It is Silica Free

Our products are free of silica. Why is this important? Abrasive blasting with sand containing crystalline silica can cause serious or fatal respiratory disease.

However, our products are completely free of any crystalline silica and therefore cannot cause silicosis.

Environmentally friendly

Environmentally friendly

Our products are made from completely recycled glass products. Other products may claim that they are environmentally friendly, but our product is developed to be a salvaged product of the recycling process.

Thereby we are creating a secondary resources economy around the valorisation of waste as part of the circular economy. This is extremely important for the South Africa economy that there is more circular system within our economy to build a more sustainable economy in these uncertain times.
