Recycled Crushed Glass

LVH's Signature Blast Media is a highly efficient and cost effective alternative to traditional industrial materials.

Recycled crushed glass can be used in many applications, such as paint and rust removal, manufacturing facilities, residential swimming pools, fillers for flooring, countertops, and filtration. No heavy metals, toxic containments such as arsenic, lead, asbestos, beryllium, titanium. No free silica (which can cause silicosis). This product is completely safe to handle. No chlorides or other salts, which may accelerate corrosion. Low disposal cost, no by-products. High performance. Environmentally friendly. Sharp-free.
