DURAGRIT® Crystal Blade Glass Abrasive is a 100% recycled crushed glass abrasive grit developed and manufactured in Malaysia. DURAGRIT® Crystal Blade Glass Abrasive is a genuine eco-friendly glass material which can be used for abrasive blasting, refractory and investment casting.
DURAGRIT® Crystal Blade Glass Abrasive contains 0% free silica and has a mohs hardness above 6.0. It is also non-reactive and free of chloride and salts. With its excellent “angular” anchor pattern, it has a higher cutting speed and is able to achieve white metal finish. Despite its aggressiveness, it significantly decreases embedment issues, up to 5 times less and it does not embed into wood, and is able to clean surfaces to a high standard without unduly eroding the surface. With these aggressive properties, it has lower consumption rates and is less expensive compared to other abrasives. It is reusable up to 3 times making it a very economical and durable abrasive material suitable for most industrial blasting jobs. This is an excellent multi-purpose abrasive material which can be used as a replacement for many traditional abrasive materials. The federal Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) has classified the dust created from glass blasting as a “nuisance dust.” Glass does not contribute to the lung disease, silicosis. However dust resulting from surface cleaning with sand (crystalline silica) is considered a contributor to the lung disease, silicosis. (29CFR1910.1000).
DURAGRIT ® Crystal Blade Glass is made of 100% crushed glass. The glass materials we used have these outstanding characteristics.
