Glassblowing

Glassblowing

Mc Uldall Maskinfabrik offers glassblowing of smaller items in-house. For larger items or constructions, we have skilled partners who can help us.

Glassblowing can be used for many purposes on different materials. It is used for surface treatment of stainless steel, aluminium, plastic, glass, copper, and brass.

There is a big difference between glass blasting and sandblasting. Unlike grains of sand, which are sharp-edged, glass beads are spherical in shape with no sharp edges. Therefore, glass beads do not abrade the surface material, but only remove impurities, leaving the surface with a nice matt finish.

Glass blasting, like shot blasting, has a corrosive value. Glass blasting compresses the surface and induces internal compressive stresses, which actually increases resistance to stress corrosion cracking.
