2. Metal cleaning and polishing The glass microsphere made from sodium lime glass has good chemical stability, certain mechanical strength and hardness. Therefore, it is more superior to be used as abrasive material than to be used as other abrasive material.
3. Military pneumatic shot blast It is used for cleaning the turbine, blade and axle of the airplane engine.
4. It is used for deluxe photetch decoration, filler and reinforcement. It is used in chemical industry. It is used as filler and reinforcement of glass microsphere in production.
