Crushed Glass – Blasting Media

Crushed glass blasting media stands out as a versatile, eco-friendly, and cost-effective option for a wide range of blasting applications. Its unique properties, including the absence of free silica and medium hardness, make it suitable for both heavy-duty industrial tasks and more delicate surface preparations.

The crushed glass blasting media is made up of various mixture of recycled blue, green, brown, and clear glass bottles. We stock a variety of sizes to accommodate any crushed-glass blasting project.

While this crushed glass is made from recycled materials and is a post-consumer product, it does not recycle well.

Container glass is very clean, post-consumer product. The glass is chemically inert and you can keep it sharp and angular.

Benefits of Crushed Glass Blasting Media:

• * Amorphous structure
  • – Crushed glass particles have an amorphous structure, meaning they lack a crystalline form, which contributes to their uniformity and consistency in blasting applications
• * No free silica
  • – Unlike some other abrasive materials, crushed glass contains no free silica, which can cause lung disease. The absence of free silica makes crushed glass a safer option for workers in blasting environments
  • – Our crushed glass contains no free silica
• * Crushed glass can be used for various applications:
  • – Concrete Blasting: Achieving a smooth surface for further treatment
  • – Log Home Restoration: Removing old paint and finishes
  • – Mold Cleaning: Ensuring a clean, residue-free surface
• * Great Medium Hardness
  • – Crushed glass is not too hard and not too soft, making it a very versatile abrasive for a multitude of projects
