Crushed Bottle Glass Abrasive is used to clean and restore the exterior of this 27 story concrete building.  Using a proprietary wet and dry blasting system, the contractor dramatically changed the surface color of the building, as you can see in the photo.  The concrete surface of this building was not smooth – it did have a texture to it, so a medium grade was chosen.  The end result is a much brighter surface color to the concrete, without damaging the exterior.

Crushed glass sandblasting abrasive is the perfect choice for either light cleaning of precast concrete, or by using coarser grades, exposing the aggregate in the concrete.  A medium/fine grade was used for this job, as the customer did not want to damage the surface of the concrete.

Crushed bottle glass abrasive is a 100% recycled product, and is shipped from a variety of locations.  It contains no free silica, no heavy metals, is inert, and it blasts fast and clean.  Many times people will just leave it on the ground rather than clean it up (unless you are blasting off something toxic like lead paint or have local laws requiring cleanup).  This makes it great for blasting log homes and automobiles as it minimizes cleanup in areas where it can be left on the ground as a soil amendment.  Because this type of abrasive is shipped from all multiple points of origin, we will always try to find the closest location to your end job site when quoting.  NOTE:  If left on concrete it will be very slippery!
