It is non flammable and non sparking. This is an inert abrasive that is recommended by NIOSH as a substitute for slag and mineral abrasives. Contains little to no heavy metals, no free silica, and is therefore great for blasting projects where it is impractical to recover lost or spilled spent abrasive. Applications are numerous, ranging from use as a filler, anti skid, anti-slip additive for resin and epoxy coatings, surface prep for sandblasting, log home blasting, auto body restoration and blasting, concrete panel blasting, etc.
Crushed glass offers significant cost savings over using plastic beads, soda blast, and glass beads. Because it is more aggressive, it is able to remove corrosion and tougher coatings that other medias cannot, such as thick and rubbery elastomeric coatings.
Glass blasting sand is very economical, available in a variety of grit sizes, and through a wide variety of grades, can achieve all MIL Profiles. We sell glass blasting media from a variety of different manufacturers, with locations all around the country.
This is a recycled glass product and should be shipped from a location closest to you - actual grit sizes available depend on what plant media is shipped from. Please use our Quote Request Form. We generally can reply back with a quote for you in a few hours, usually same day.
Safety: We have sizes that are CARB Approved for outdoor blasting as well as listed on the QPL, but you must tell us if this is a requirement. We also have some material that can be blended with lead abatement Blastox, as well as pre-coating compounds like Pretox. Please email us your requirements so we can make sure we ship you approved material out of approved plants, as necessary.
** The thinner the abrasive to air mixture, the higher your rate of production will be. Be stingy - meter the abrasive back until you can no longer see it in the air stream. This may sound counter-intuitive, but glass blasting is different from heavier abrasives.
Wild guess is there was enough steel around the rim of the kettle to convince the sensors a compatible pot was on the burner. The rim became very hot over heated a small spot on the glass making it fracture
Kiley, you had said "explosion" but I thought you were being figurative, not that you had glass embedded in the walls and ceiling! I've broken safety glass on several occasions and it hasn't been very dramatic. I think Walta is probably right. Induction cooktops work by creating an electromagnetic charge within the cookware, so if there was some conductive metal in the kettle, it probably got very hot. Did the kettle survive? I'm guessing that it might have exploded first, shattering the cooktop in the process.
I was able to obtain a photo of Kiley's kitchen, attached. But seriously, I'd be curious to hear more forensic details. Was the kettle thrown quite a ways? (BTW, did it only contain water?) What was the splatter pattern of wall-embedded glass? It could have been a multiple-stage breakdown; perhaps the kettle failed first--in an explosion or in a gentler fashion--spilling cold liquid on the glass which then fractured. There's also the phenomenon of exploding water, and maybe the glass shattered only due to the kettle jumping around: -water.php
I've personally experienced a similar explosion, using a PYREX casserole dish with pancakes, on 2 burner counter-top electric element burner (old school) to keep them warm. It was during a staff breakfast. The Pyrex literally exploded, with glass fragments burning the Arborite table laminate and glass everywhere. I think the pancakes in the dish prevented serious injury to my staff in the room at the time. The two burner electric hot plate was set to "warm" only, but there was either an issue with it, or poor temperature management on the device. Evidently thermal shock cause the issue to the Pyrex dish in that case, and was quite dramatic. Lesson learned.
My guess is that the kettle overheated the glass surface, perhaps due to the composition of its base. You want to use only pots that are strongly magnetic at the base. There is a very noticeable difference even in "induction" rated cookware with respect to heat transfer/performance. In our induction cooktop "collection" the cast iron pans work the best.
When they make tempered glass, the idea is to store a large amount of potential energy in the glass. The idea is when the glass gets broken the energy is released fracturing the glass into pieces so small, they are unlikely injure anyone. It would not be uncommon to find glass 10 or more feet away.
In either case it should not have exploded. The material used for these should be a ceramic, not glass, which has near zero coefficient of thermal expansion. This means you can heat it up to very high temperature and shock it with cold water and it won't crack.
Tempered glass, when it breaks, makes lots of little pieces that don't have sharp shard-lide edges and points for the most part. This is what makes it "safety" glass -- it doesn't break into knife-like shards the way regular plate glass does. I have seen it break in my presence before, and usually it just shatters nearly instantly into a zillion small pieces that drop to the floor -- it's not really an "explosion".
I'm not so sure those cooktop surfaces are just tempered glass though, I think they are something more interesting that can handle impact and heat better. regular tempered glass is actually not all that hard to break if you scratch it, which is why I think it might not be the issue here.
BTW, "Pyrex" hasn't been the "pyrex" it used to be for some time now. Pyrex used to be made from borosilicate glass, which is the same stuff used to make laboratory glassware. Pyrex now is just a brand, and it's made with regular soda lime glass now. You CAN still get pyrex the way it used to be, but you have to order it from Arc Cuisine in France, which apparently licensed the design decades ago and still makes the old-style pyrex cookware using borosilicate glass.
My concern with an event like Kiley's is that a thin layer of ferrous metal directly adjacent to the glass followed by a thicker layer of non-ferrous metal might actually elevate the glass temps vs a thicker layer (like cast iron) where heating would be better distributed. You can predict induction performance by testing pan bases with a rare earth magnet. Strong attraction vs weak gives you an idea of the base alloy, which in turn will predict how well it heats up.
If this is typical, ( -tuesday-induction-cooktop/) then there should be a temp sensor under the glass to cut power at a given temp, in this case, 363 F. If the kettle Kiley used has a raised area in the center (as some older pots/pans do) then then I could see a situation where the centre of the glass might be not only cooler than the outside diameter, but also cool in a spot where the temp cutoff sensor is located. You can guess what might happen then...

Startled a bit, after looking around I noticed the passenger rear glass was in a million pieces in the back seat. This was not caused by anyone or anything because there was nothing around at the time. My best guess in regards to my car was that it was a 105 degree day and a fluke failure of superhot glass occurred.
I had a windshield do this probably about 20 years ago and never knew exactly what happened. I was driving through the mountains of eastern TN and western NC on I-40, it was late at night and I heard something that also sounded like an explosion. When I pulled off the interstate a few miles down the road the passenger side of the windshield was broken. All I can figure out that may have happened was a rock fell from the mountain side and hit the windshield, but it was definitely a noise like an explosion.
I have had a couple of side windows shatter when closing the door, the sound of closing the door was louder than the glass shattering. I have had more that a few rocks hit the windshield and crack it. It sounded like a crack of a whip more than an explosion.
Available in three sizes, Ecoglass is derived from recycled glass and is saidto be ideal for most open nozzle applications including the removal of paint,mill scale and corrosion from steelwork, masonry cleaning and woodwork cleaning.
As a glass material, which would otherwise have been thrown away, Ecoglass isconsidered an environmentally friendly abrasive, which is inert and free fromcrystalline silica, heavy metals and toxic contaminants. In Fergusson Wild'sopinion, as any dust produced is cleaner, Ecoglass is therefore much safer inuse than other expendable blast cleaning abrasives.
