CRUSHED GLASS
Description:
Crushed Glass is a 100% recycled abrasive product that can be used in a wide variety of applications. It cuts through mill scale and rust, providing a uniform mil profile while providing lower particle embedment than most other abrasives. This low-dusting abrasive enhances the natural luster of the surface without discoloration.
