Glass Media Powder is a finely ground, inert abrasive material made from recycled or virgin glass. It appears as a white to off-white fine powder and is valued for its hardness, chemical stability, and non-toxic nature. It is widely used in abrasive blasting, surface finishing, fillers, filtration systems, and industrial coatings, offering an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional silica-based materials.
Main Composition: Amorphous silicon dioxide (SiO), typically 70%
Appearance: White to off-white fine powder
Particle Size: Can vary by grade (commonly from < 100 microns to 500 microns)
Hardness: ~5.56.0 on Mohs scale
pH: Neutral to slightly alkaline
Odor: Odorless
Insolubility: Insoluble in water
Abrasive Blasting: For gentle cleaning or etching of metals, glass, wood, and composites
Industrial Fillers: Used in paints, rubber, and plastics for improved strength and texture
Filtration Media: In water and air filtration systems due to its inertness and fine granularity
Construction Materials: As an additive in cement, grout, and flooring compounds
Decorative Use: In architectural surfaces and coatings for texture and reflectivity
Non-crystalline (non-hazardous dust compared to crystalline silica)
Eco-friendly and recyclable
Chemically inert and non-reactive
Compatible with a wide range of industrial and environmental systems
Low toxicity but may cause mechanical irritation as a fine particulate
Use dust masks and eye protection during handling
Store in dry, sealed containers to prevent moisture absorption and clumping
