Recycled glass blast abrasive
ECOGLASIX is an angular blast abrasive crushed and graded from 100% recycled flat glass. Glass is amorphous, so the grit is made without the crystalline silica that makes quartz sand a health risk.
0.5–1.5 mm* XRD analysis, [laboratory name], report no. [—], detection limit [x %].

Finer and coarser fractions for different surface profiles. [Confirm grades before launch.]
Fine fraction for filler applications. Specification in development — ask us about availability.
Quality
Glass is rich in silicon dioxide, but in an amorphous, non-crystalline form. The health risk in abrasive blasting comes from respirable crystalline silica, which the EU classifies as a carcinogen under Directive (EU) 2017/2398.
We publish both measurements so you can see the difference: total SiO₂ by XRF, and crystalline silica by XRD.
Like any abrasive, glass grit creates dust during blasting. Standard respiratory protection and dust extraction still apply.

About
We collect clean flat-glass offcuts from glass cutting workshops and window manufacturers in southeastern Türkiye, then crush, dry and grade them into blast abrasive.
