Our molded glass beads are made from superior quality hardened soda lime glass.  You will see a fine line on the beads where the two halves are joined in with state of the art molding technology.  This process enables an exact forming of the beads especially with diameters over 4.0 mm.  These beads offer excellent roundness in sizes up to 25 mm.  They are shiny and smooth, with a low proportion of air bubbles, and a high degree of purity.  In size ranges from 1.5 to 16.0 mm, these glass beads are mainly used as stirring and mixing media in aerosol sprays.  Their high purity allows for excellent results when used in grinding and dispersing pigments, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, argo-chemicals, pigments and dystuff.

These have similar uses to the GSR beads, but are available in larger size range and have a tighter tolerance than the GSR.
