New Age Blast Media

Seed Round in 2011
New Age Blast Media® is sandblasting media manufactured from 100% Recycled Bottle Glass, which means it is non-toxic and completely inert, that can be used near and around water. In addition to worker safety benefits, New Age Blast Media® works great for sandblasting thick or soft coatings, aluminum, brass, bright metal, and “spot and sweep” applications. Because of its light weight, it is good for remote operations and because glass is less dense than other sandblasting medias, it will often be possible to use fewer pounds of material, saving money. Bottle or try-mix glass is chemically known as “Amorphous Silica” it contains virtually no free silica which is commonly found in blasting sand and other abrasive sandblasting medias.
