Glass BeadingGlass beading uses tiny lead-free glass beads made of soda lime glass to provide an aesthetic treatment on stainless steel surfaces. Glass is one of the largest blasting medias used in abrasive blasting, more commonly known as sandblasting. The glass beading process projects glass beads at a high velocity powered by pressurized air, removing the top layer of the object’s surface. This process is also environmentally friendly and more cost-effective than other abrasive blasting methods, as the beads may cleaned and reused.
