Blasting Applications

• Surface Cleaning
  • Rust & Corrosion Removal
  • Depainting & Coating Removal - No Profile
• Creating a Surface Profile
  • Etching
  • Anchor Pattern
  • Mil Profile
  • Ra - Surface Roughness
• Finishing (Cosmetic)
  • Blending
  • Uniformity
  • Polishing

Properties of Blasting Particles

• The following properties affect the energy and productivity of a blasting particle
  • Size
  • Hardness
  • Density
• Friability (shattering of a particle)
• Any energy exerted on the surface over the specification results in waste and unnecessary costs
• Ideal blast energy = 80 psi

Types of Blasting Media

• Steel Shot / Grit
• Stainless Steel Shot / Grit
• Aluminum Oxide
• Glass Bead
• Plastic
• Mineral Slags
• Organic (Walnut Shell, Corn Cob)
• Soda
• Crushed Glass

Why BriteBlast™?Environmentally Safe & User Friendly

• NO Health Hazards
  • A safe, environmentally viable alternative for blasting sand or mineral slags
• NO Crystalline Silica
  • This manufactured product poses NO SILICOSIS HAZARD!
• NO Heavy Metals
• 100% Post-Consumer / Post-Industrial Recycled Product
• Recyclable

“No Crystalline Silica” Explained

BriteBlast™ is a ground amorphous product. The melting process during glass production eliminates the grain structure. Therefore, there is no crystalline silica, the component of other blast media that is hazardous to your health.

Work Friendly

• NO Surface Impingement
• NO Particle Imbedding
• NO Surface Dust Contamination
• Low levels of Chlorides (Salts)
  • NEVER more than 16 parts per million
• NO Surface Discoloration
• Bright, Natural Surface Finish
• Dust is Inert and Transparent

Product Overview

• Created from 3-mix, minus 12 mesh, refuge, post-consumer product
• Contains ceramics, which give it hardness and lower dust than other glass abrasives
• Screened to 4 primary sizes
  • #1 - Coarse, 12x20 mesh
  • #2 - Medium, 20x45 mesh
  • #3 - Fine, 45x70 mesh
  • #4 - Extra-fine, 70x110 mesh

Product Details - Applications

• #1 (12/20 Mesh)
  • Very coarse granular mix
