    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.

    Common Uses:

    • Architectural precast & concrete applications
    • Brick & limestone restoration work
    • Bridge construction, steel fabrication
    • Pipelines & refineries
    • Shipyards
    • Wet abrasive blasting (slurry/vapor blasting)
