WHY GLASS
The economical, proven route into bead milling.
Glass remains the most accessible medium in the range and the natural starting point for high-volume, less-demanding dispersion where premium ceramics are not warranted. Each bead is manufactured to a near-perfect spherical geometry with closely controlled diameters, then thermally and chemically polished to a high surface finish that maximises impact and wear resistance while causing minimal wear to mill internals, all in a fully lead-free soda-lime composition. Its moderate specific weight of 2.5 g/cm³ makes it particularly well suited to low- and medium-viscosity mill bases, delivering stable, repeatable pigment grinding across both vertical and horizontal bead mills at the lowest cost per litre of any medium we supply.
