Glass Bead
Glass beads, or glass bead abrasives, are most often used in general maintenance and blast cleaning processes. Blasting with glass beads allows the user to clean work pieces without significant surface removal. Due to its spherical shape, glass beads are also used in some peening applications.

Metallic Abrasives
Cut wire, Steel shot/grit, and Aluminum shot are all considered metallic abrasives. Metallic abrasives are typically used in wheel blast systems and often in blast room systems.
