Glass micro-bead SyncoLite™

shot blasting

SyncoLite™ Glass Beads are an established blasting media for air assisted blasting applications using pressure induction, suction and wet blasting principles and is used for cleaning, conditioning or peening metallic surfaces. SyncoLite™ is manufactured from high‐grade crushed and sized glass cullet, which is melted to a spherical shape and annealed for uniform and controlled internal stresses and superior fracture resistance.These transparent spheres which are non abrasive in nature function without any damage to or dimensional change in the surface of the object embedment, contamination or pick‐up. Depending on the selection of size and operating parameters, SyncoLite™ achieves desired surface finish and texture from fine matte to bright satin. Decorative and special effects are achieved by using masking stencils and blasting exposed surfaces with SyncoLite™. Critically tolerant objects, dies, moulds, component etc. can be cleaned, deburred, textured without removing any base metal, ensuring the sanctity of the critical tolerances due to the intrinsic quality of Syncolite glass beads. In addition, the inherent strength of glass beads allows it to survive multiple impacts, making it extremely suitable for use in closed cycle blasting equipment fitted with recycling facilities. Being chemically inert, and non‐toxic, SyncoLite™ Glass Beads do not leave any unwanted or ferrous residue on blasted surfaces. Spent media which is not contaminated is environmentally harmless.
