Glass beads are one of a variety of medias that you can blast with. Like any blast media, it has a variety of benefits.
Glass bead blasting is a good alternative to sand blasting depending on your application.
It is effective at cleaning a surface without leaving much of a blast profile. This makes it ideal for cleaning paint or coatings off a part as well as removal of rust.
If a profile is needed though blast media like steel grit, garnet or aluminium oxide can be required as glass bead typically doesn’t profile when blasting.
