Recycled Crushed Glass is manufactured from recycled bottle glass. This recycled crushed glass delivers superior performance relative to mineral/slag abrasives in metal cleaning and surface finishing applications. The angular particles in crushed glass allow for aggressive surface profiling and removal of coatings such as epoxy, paint, alkyds, vinyl, polyurea, coal tar and elastomers when used as a blast media. Finely crushed recycled glass for pool, industrial, and environmental filtration provides outstanding water clarity and quality – a direct replacement for silica sand. The 0.5 – 1.0 mm size is recommended. Cleaner, lighterweight and highly angular, crushed recycled glass filter media provides an amazing 25% improvement in turbidity removal over silica sand. It is available in a variety of sizes depending on the exact application, but can be used in potable, swimming pool and municipal filtration.
