What Is Glass Grit Sandblasting? Process, Uses, and Benefits
By: Steven Schneider January 12, 2026 What Is Glass Grit Sandblasting? Process, Uses, and Benefits In abrasive blasting, surface appearance alone is not enough. Performance, coating adhesion, and part longevity often depend on choosing the right media. Glass grit sandblasting occupies a precise middle ground between aggressive material removal and delicate surface finishing. It delivers controlled abrasion that cleans efficiently without excessive base material loss, making it a dependable option when consistency and surface integrity matter. In industrial surface preparation environments, Kramer Industries works with applications where this balance between control and performance is critical. Unlike traditional sand or slag abrasives, this abrasive method offers predictable cutting behavior. It is more assertive than glass beads but far less destructive than mineral sand. This balance allows operators to remove coatings, oxidation, and light corrosion while maintaining tig...
