Make sure to use low pressure, between 20 and 60 PSI, when you do this. Soft/Sensitive Materials that go above 70 PSI shorten the life of the glass media. Clean with more intensity at a 90 degree nozzle angle. You can eat more material at a 90-degree angle, with more blast pressures, and with a harder workpiece.
Made in the country.
Blast Media: Extra Large Diameter Crushed Glass, Blasting Abrasive Media (Extra Course) #16 Mesh – 1854 to 940 Microns – 8.6 kg – 19 lbs. If you want to get rid of rust and most coatings from the surface of an object, this is the best way to do it. Glass that has been broken into small pieces has more cutting power. For steel, aluminum, concrete or wood, this is the best cleaner for you. Gives you more product per pound because it has less bulk density. There are no crystals of silica in them. They are also environmentally friendly, because they are made from recycled glass. When you crush glass, it is inert, non-flammable, not corrosive, and not fribrogenic. With a blasting gun or in a blast cabinet, it can be used.
This kind of media won’t go through the smaller sand blasters, or the Harbor Freight 40 lb frame blaster, because it is too big.
