50 LB. BAG OF MEDIUM GLASS BEAD BLASTING MEDIA - Atlas Automotive

The Atlas Automotive AB8 50 lb. Medium Glass Bead Blasting Media is engineered for professional automotive and industrial applications requiring precise, repeatable results. This premium, non-ferrous media consistently delivers a clean, uniform satin finish across various materials with minimal profile change, making it ideal for precision work in both blast cabinets and professional fluidized bed systems.

Key Features

• Consistent Surface Refinement: Medium-grade glass beads provide an optimal balance of cleaning power and surface refinement, delivering a smooth, uniform satin finish on aluminum, steel, stainless steel, and other non-ferrous components.
• Non-Contaminating Composition: Chemically inert properties prevent ferrous transfer or inclusions, which is crucial for protecting sensitive parts such as aluminum cylinder heads, intake manifolds, and other engine components.
• Controlled Peening Action: The spherical particle shape facilitates a controlled peening action that cleans and blends surfaces effectively without aggressive base metal removal or unwanted dimensional changes.
• Optimized Operational Efficiency: Designed for low dust generation and reusability, this media supports cleaner operations, enhances operator visibility, and reduces abrasive consumption over extended production runs.
• System Versatility: Engineered for stable and consistent performance across both traditional blast cabinets and advanced professional fluidized bed blasting systems.

Applications

This medium glass bead media excels in a wide range of cleaning, finishing, and peening operations on automotive and industrial components. It is highly effective for removing rust, scale, paint, and carbon deposits from engine blocks, cylinder heads, intake manifolds, turbo housings, and transmission cases. Additionally, it can be used for deburring and deflashing machined or cast components, and for achieving controlled matte or satin finishes prior to coating, plating, or inspection on various light-duty, heavy-duty, and performance vehicles.
