Benefits of using WHITE BEAUTY®
GLASS BLASTING ABRASIVES
1) White Beauty® Brand Abrasive goes further than its competitors because it has a lower density than some other abrasives, a greater volume per weight is produced, thus increasing productivity. Additionally, White Beauty’s glass particles are angular to sub-angular in geometry and cut extremely well in each grit classification. These two factors contribute to White Beauty® Abrasive lasting longer and going further per bag than an equivalent bag of Coal Slag type abrasive.
2) White Beauty® produces much less dust than its competitors. Giving it’s users better visibility of target area, resulting in a more economical use of product and realizing a time savings by not going over an area, already blasted. Users have reported White Beauty® producing only 1/3 to ˝ the dust produced by Coal Slag abrasives depending on grit range employed.
3) White Beauty® Brand Abrasives are safer to use, being more lung and earth friendly than either Coal Slag or Silica Sand. White Beauty® is made of Glass, and glass contains essentially no “free-silica”, which greatly reduces the threat of silicosis. Additionally, White Beauty® Brand Abrasives contain no heavy metals like typical Coal Slag abrasives do. Coal slag is one of the widely used abrasives in dry abrasive blasting. Atmospheric emissions from this process include particulate matter (PM) and heavy metals, such as chromium, lead, manganese, nickel. Quantities and characteristics of PM emissions depend on abrasive characteristics and process parameters.
4) Coal Slag abrasives can leach heavy metals into the environment, air, land and water. This is of particular note and importance when blasting over and or near any body of water, populated area, or crop land. Again, White Beauty® contains NO heavy metals, is inert environmentally, and the right answer where impact to the environment might be an issue.
5) White Beauty® Brand Abrasives are made entirely from recycled post consumer glass and by using them you help keep America “ Green” by reducing landfill deposits.
6) White Beauty® can be reused a number of times allowing the consumer added value and economy.
