Glassblasting is a widespread surface treatment used in many industries. The applications are numerous, especially in the audio equipment industry where the decorative surface is of great importance. Glassblasting is also commonly used for medical and military equipment, as well as mechanical components and design.
Glassblasting
We offer glassblasting of metal items in our own production.
Glassblasting can stand as a treatment on its own or with a subsequent treatment such as plating, anodizing or varnishing.
Glassblasting leaves a nice, uniform silk-matte and decorative surface resulting in a more exclusive look.
Furthermore, some of the many advantages of glassblasting metal surfaces include:
- The surface is easy to clean
- The treatment gets rid of oxide layers, leaving it clean and rough.
- The entire surface of the item becomes uniform – even with curved surfaces
- An exclusive appearance with a subsequent surface treatment
- Hides small tensile- and heat streaks, traces of processin, and heat zones from e.g. welding
Professional glassblasting
Glassblasting is typically used to strengthen and clean surfaces prior to other surface treatments such as plating. This treatment is more gentle and can therefore be advantageously used on metal parts where fine adjustments are needed.
Glassblasting is a surface treatment where small beads of glass are blown onto the surface at relatively low power, shaping and smoothing the hard surface.
Glassblasting removes very limited material from the surface, as the glass beads primarily deform the outermost layer, leaving an even and uniform color and shine. The method therefore only has a minimal effect on the product's weight and dimensions. In contrast to the grains of sand in sandblasting, the glass beads are not abrasive.
The process aligns with our company values, as it allows us to offer an environmentally friendly surface treatment. The glass beads we use are of high quality, free of toxic substances, and chemically inert, making them non-hazardous. They help reduce the environmental impact of our operations and those of our customers' supply chains.
The glass beads are available in various sizes and types. The differences are used to create the desired structure in the surface. We advise you on how to achieve the result your company needs.
