Glass Bead<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Glass<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Glass bead is high-grade soda lime glass bead manufactured by the process of cascading a granulated soda lime glass powder or grain into a vertical kiln and then using the effect of softening the glass and gravity to cause the rounding of the glass grit or cullet. This technique has been refined to produce a sphere that is almost perfectly round, and in the reflective product, produces a prism that can have refractive indices as high as 2. Available in commercial, premium AMS and military specifications, conforming to AMS2431\/6C and MIL-9954.<\/p>\n

This media is also referred to as Beadomac.<\/p>\n
