OLID GLASS BEADS ( 100 microns To 10,000 microns ) 0.1 mm. to 10 mm
DESCRIPTION
Glass Beads are solid Glass Spheres. They should not be confused with Costume jewellery having the hole.
They are manufactured from high grade Soda Lime Silica Glass containing SiO2 around 70%.
They are free from free Lead, Iron and Silica. They are manufactured from colourless glass for most of the uses. They can be manufactured from other than Soda Lime Silica Glass and also in coloured glass, depending upon customers requirement. Normal size range being 5 mm to 0.1 mm and can be manufactured above 5 mm depending upon customers need.
USES
AS GRINDING & DISPERSING MEDIUM : Glass Beads are replacing the WET conventional grinding media :
Ottawa Sand, Ceramic Balls, Steel Balls, Pebbles etc., as Grinding & Dispersing medium in
Sand Mills, Ball Mills, Pot Mills, Attrition Mills etc.
These Beads will be of interest to the following Industries :
a) Paints
b) Pigments
c) Ink & Printing Inks.
d) Dyes
e) Chemicals
f) Cosmetics
g) Gums and Waxes etc.
AS SHOT BLASTING MEDIUM :
Blasting with Glass Beads under pressure with Blasting Equipment maintains close control
over all foreign matters down to the base metal without dimensional change, without
contamination and without overstressing. It produces a consistent metallurgical clean
surface finish. Conventional Blasting Materials such as Aluminium Oxide, Sand, Steel
Shots will either leave a Chemical Film on the blasted surface or have cutting action. Shot
Blasting with the Glass Beads completely prepares metal surface for any type of coating
on it such as painting, plating enameling or glass lining. Here are some of the application.
There are two methods for shot Blasting. Namely ,
1) WET SHOT BLASTING
2) DRY BLASTING
A. OTHER INDUSTRIAL AND SCIENTIFIC USES :
B. AS A COOLANT FOR TRANSFORMER OIL :
C. AS AN EVEN DISTRIBUTOR OF TEMPERATURE IN FLUIDISED BEDS :
D. AS A FILTERING MEDIUM :
E. AS A TOOL IN RESEARCH
