The Glass Microspheres Grit 100/200 are a high-quality abrasive manufactured from class A soda-lime glass. Their spherical shape and specific grain size allow obtaining uniform satin finishes on metal surfaces, being especially effective on precious metals such as gold and silver, as well as stainless steel.
This type of microsphere is ideal for dry blasting processes with suction or pressure sandblasters, offering a gentle cleaning without altering the dimensions of the parts. Furthermore, its composition is free of crystalline silica, which reduces health risks and complies with occupational safety regulations.
