Greenblast
Greenblast is crushed glass grit made from 100% recycled glass. It is collected from your curb-side recycle box, crushed, cleaned, sized and packaged to provide the ideal blast media for many applications. Its angular shape allows to cut through rust, paint and oil, and is lightweight enough not to damage the work surface. Greenblast is also non metallic, preventing contamination to surfaces. Finally, even though crushed glass is made of sand, the silica in crushed glass is chemically inert, making it a silica-free abrasive.
Crushed glass is used for a wide variety of blast cleaning operations, such as the blasting of:
- Autobodies and auto parts,
- Trucks
- Fibreglass and plastics
- Wood
- Stainless steel
|
- Pipelines
- Concrete
- Graffiti removal
- Construction equipment
and many other sensitive surfaces.
