I-sandblasting glass bead enezici zobulukhuni obuthile bemishini, amandla, nokuqina kwamakhemikhali aqinile. Zenziwe ngengilazi ye-soda lime silica futhi zingasetshenziswa njengezinto zokuqhumisa ukususa izinhlobo eziningi zokungapheleli komhlaba, kufaka phakathi ukuhlanzwa kwensimbi, ukuqeda indawo, ukukhipha, ukuphazamisa. Kwehlisa ukubonakala kwanoma yimuphi umonakalo ongaba khona, ukuklwebheka, ukukhubazeka okuncane ngemuva kokushisela, ukugaya, noma ukufaka amabala futhi kuphakamisa ukumelana nokugqwala komkhiqizo futhi kusize ekwandiseni umthamo wokugqoka.

Ukuqhuma ubuhlalu beglasi akulungele ukwelashwa kokugcina komkhiqizo omusha noma njengokwelashwa kwangaphambi kwezinqubo zamakhemikhali ezilandelayo (i-electroforming, i-anodic oxidation), futhi iphefumula impilo entsha ezintweni ezindala, kungaba izingxenye zemoto, izinto zobuciko nezinto zokuhlobisa noma izesekeli zangaphakathi.

Ubuhlalu beglasi obusetshenziswa njengezinto zokuqhumisa bunezici zokucaca, ubulukhuni nobulukhuni. Zikulungele ukuhlanza nokupholisha ama-burrs kanye nokungcola ezindaweni ezahlukahlukene zesikhunta ukuze izindatshana ezicutshunguliwe zibe nokuqeda okuhle futhi zandise impilo yazo yensizakalo. Ukusebenziseka kabusha kwayo kuyenza ibe yindlela yokonga.Imvelo yamakhemikhali ebuhlalu beglasi ayifakwanga futhi ayinabuthi, ngesikhathi sokusetshenziswa, ayikho insimbi noma ezinye izinto eziyingozi ezisele ebusweni bomsebenzi, futhi ngeke zithinte kabi imvelo ezungezile. Ukuzungeza kwendawo ebushelelezi kukwenza kungabikho ukulimala kokuqala kokunemba komshini wokusebenza ngesikhathi senqubo yokwenza sandblasting. Uhlelo olulodwa oluyingqayizivele lokuqhuma ingilazi lobuhlalu lukhipha, okusiza insimbi ukuthi imelane kangcono nokukhathala nokuqhekeka okubangelwa ukucindezela kokucindezeleka. Ucwaningo olulodwa lwathola ukuthi lungakhuphula amandla okukhathala cishe ngo-17.14%. Kukunika isiphetho se-satin esikhangayo ngenkathi kukhulisa ukuqina komkhiqizo.
