Why Use Glass Beads in Tile Grout?

Glass beads are a revolutionary additive for tile grout formulations. They enhance the mechanical strength, durability, and chemical stability of grout while also improving its aesthetic appeal. By filling micro-gaps evenly and providing a smooth texture, they deliver grout with excellent performance in both residential and commercial applications.

When incorporated into grout formulations, Apex glass beads make the grout:

• Weather Resistant – Withstand UV rays, moisture, and outdoor conditions.
• Durable – High mechanical strength improves resistance to abrasion and wear.
• Stable – Chemically inert and resistant to acids, alkalis, and cleaning agents.
• Safe & Non-Toxic – Manufactured without silica and heavy metals, ensuring health and environmental safety.

Glass Beads for filling is used as a base in epoxy, polyurethane, PP, nylon material. Spherical shape gives better stress patterns than the irregular shaped particles conventionally used. Glass beads are easily and uniformly dispersed throughout the plastic compound and produce smooth flowing compound which distributes itself evenly, so that all parts of any shaped moulding can be reinforced. Reinforcement with Glass beads will improve the tensile strength, reduce elongation, increase flexural modulus and in some plastics, triple the compressive strength of the finished product.

• 50um to 1000um

Welcome to Apex Abrasives Industries

Leading Manufacturer of High-Quality Glass Beads

At Apex Abrasives Industries, we specialize in the manufacturing of premium Glass Beads for a wide range of industrial applications, including Sand Blasting, Road Marking, and Grinding.

Our Glass Beads are crafted from lead-free, soda-lime glass, formed into perfect spherical shapes with a smooth, shiny surface. These beads are available in a granulometric range of 1 to 1000 microns.

Sand Blasting Glass Beads

Due to their hardness and spherical form, our Sand Blasting Glass Beads effectively remove surface impurities, rust, and metal oxides without damaging the base material. Chemically inert, these beads do not corrode or deposit foreign substances on treated surfaces.

Applications include:

• Cleaning molds in die-casting, metal forging, and glass, rubber, or plastic extrusion.
• Improving surface appearance by removing oxidation layers.
• Enhancing mechanical properties: tensile strength, stress resistance, and longevity of machine components.
• Surface finishing of metal products and automotive parts.

Due to their uniform shape and chemical resistance, glass beads are used in filtration systems in water treatment plants, laboratories, and high-purity applications.

Micro glass beads are also used as texturizing agents in creams, exfoliants, and other cosmetic products, where their smooth surface offers gentle scrubbing without skin irritation.

Their clarity, brightness, and consistency make them ideal for:

• Jewelry

• Decorative fillers

• Art installations

• Bead blasting on glass and ceramics

• 100% Lead-free and non-toxic
