Reflectra® REX
Glass Beads for Blasting
Reflectra® REX glass beads offer high performance for blasting applications, widely used in surface cleaning and preparation. As an alternative to traditional abrasive blasting methods, glass bead blasting provides a more precise and environmentally friendly solution.
It effectively cleans surfaces without causing damage and can be used on materials such as metal, plastic, and composites.
Advantages
Over Traditional Sandblasting
- Surface Sensitivity: Unlike abrasive sandblasting, glass beads do not damage surfaces, making them ideal for delicate or detailed work.
- Eco-Friendly: Glass beads are a safer alternative to some abrasive materials that may harm the environment.
- Reusability: More durable than sand, glass beads can be reused multiple times, offering cost-efficiency.
- Cleaning Quality: They remove dirt, oxidation, and residues effectively, leaving a clean and bright finish.
