…better surfaces
The Sigmund Lindner GmbH is a family-run enterprise in the 5th generation. Our compamy‘s philosophy is built on tradition, innovation and sustainablity. We aim for a long-term cooperation with our customers, employees and business partners. For the past 150 years we have developed and produced high quality glass beads and for the last 10 years we have also used ceramic material.
Ceramic or glass beads for blasting refine metal building components. We distinguish however between the classic shot blasting for cleaning and the shot peening for increasing the residual stress on the surface of a component.
Other than that glass beads are used to mechanically coat /plate zinc onto metallic parts such as nails /screws. This coating process is generally called mechanical plating.
Silibeads Glass and Ceramic Beads have the following advantages:
- high roundness, if required > 90% for a smooth and flawless surface
- insignificant air inclusions for break- and trouble free blasting
- high specific weight of 6,0kg/ltr. for Silibeads Type ZY for highest possible intensity during shot peening
- highest possible intensity during shot peening
- high hardness of SiLibeads Type ZY and Z in order to reach the required residual stress
- narrow and precise distribution of beads for a precise application, even with toothed building components
- SiLibeads Type Z and ZY are inert for a contamination free blasting
