Value Collection 00574251 Glass Bead Blast Media 50 Lb

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 00574251 is a coarse-grade, angular glass bead abrasive blasting media suited for surface preparation in industrial, automotive, and general fabrication environments. Supplied in a 50-pound box, this media covers a grit range of 50 to 80 with a maximum hardness of 9, making it effective for aggressive surface profiling and cleaning applications. The angular particle shape increases cutting action compared to spherical media, producing a textured surface anchor profile that improves coating adhesion. Licensed blasters, machinists, and maintenance technicians are the typical users of this product.

This blasting media is appropriate for use in pressure pot and suction blast cabinets handling coarse-grade material. Common applications include rust removal, paint stripping, weld scale cleaning, and surface texturing on steel, cast iron, and other hard substrates. The 50-pound box format suits shop-based operations where media is loaded directly into a blast pot or cabinet hopper. It is not intended for fine-finish or cosmetic blasting work where tighter grit tolerances are required.

Key Features

• Angular particle shape for aggressive cutting action and surface profiling
• Coarse grade with a grit range of 50 to 80 for heavy material removal
• Maximum hardness of 9 for use on hard metal substrates
• Glass bead media construction for consistent blast performance
• Supplied in a 50-pound box for direct loading into blast equipment

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose coarse-grade abrasive blasting media for use in pressure pot and suction-type blast cabinets capable of handling angular glass bead material at the 50 to 80 grit range.

Installation Notes

This media is loaded and operated by trained blasting technicians following applicable OSHA respiratory and personal protective equipment requirements. Always verify that blast cabinet or pot equipment is rated for the media type and grit size before loading. Power down and depressurize all blasting equipment before servicing media hoppers or nozzle assemblies. Dispose of spent media in accordance with local environmental regulations, as used glass bead media may carry surface contaminants from the workpiece.
