The health and environmental benefits of using this product are also noteworthy. The glass is 100% recycled and diverted directly from landfills. It's chemically non-toxic and inert, allowing for use near and around water. Furthermore, the absence of free silica means that it will not cause silicosis. The product also contains no toxic metals such as arsenic, beryllium, nickel, etc., which are commonly found in coal, copper, nickel slags, and mineral abrasives. It also contains no radioactive components. Due to the absence of free-silica in glass, it delivers very low particle embedment, producing a whiter and cleaner finish to the substrate (SP-10). This can enhance coating life and performance, while less salts and chlorides result in superior rust back performance compared to mineral and slag abrasives. Additionally, disposal costs are reduced due to the product's lower weight and consumption. The medium and coarse grades of this product are approved by the California Air Control Board (CARB) for 2006 and are listed on EPA's Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines for Blasting Grit. They are The medium ground glass sandblasting abrasive, available in 40-70 size and 50 LBS bags, is a revolutionary product known as New Age Blast Media. This innovative media is manufactured entirely from recycled bottle glass. Using post-consumer glass reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and helps the environment. The glass is cleaned and ground into industrial-grade abrasive as part of the manufacturing process. The resulting product is an expendable abrasive that can be used for abrasive blasting, replacing the need for more hazardous mineral and slag abrasives. The glass is sized and screened into multiple specifications to meet different abrasive blasting needs, and it can be used in both dry and wet blasting applications. Chemically known as "Amorphous Silica," the bottle or tri-mix glass contains virtually no free silica, which is commonly found in blasting sand. The performance benefits of this innovative abrasive are significant. The angular particles allow for aggressive surface profiling and the removal of various coatings, including epoxy, paint, alkyds, vinyl, polyurea, coal tar, and elastomerics. The product is similarly hard to many slags, ranking 6.0 on Moh's Hardness Scale. Its lighter weight allows for increased consumption efficiency and production time. Contractors report using 30% less glass than slags or other mineral abrasives.
