Product Uses



 
Blasting Media  ( Top ) Sandblast media is used to remove various types of coatings and to prepare surfaces.  It is the process of propelling very small particles at a high speed to clean or cut into a surface using a machine with an air compressor and nozzle.  Our 100% post-consumer recycled blasting media results in a cleaner finished product compared to other mineral abrasives.  Our product is silca-free, non-toxic, and safe to use.
 

 
  Countertops ( Top ) Recycled post-consumer glass is now being used to create a beautiful, unique countertops. This process utilizes approximately 85% of recycled post consumer glass along with other materials such as cement, additives and pigments.

Industrial Tri-Mix Cullet ( Top ) We manufacture industrial cullet from feedstock, which is derived from a tri-mix of post- consumer bottled glass.  Our exclusive process of manufacturing insures that the industrial cullet has a very low LOI (Loss of Ignition).  The Federal government has issued guidelines urging the fiber glass insulation companies to increase the usage of recycled materials in their products, therefore making our industrial cullet useful in this market.

LVH Industries has developed a unique delivery system where we can deliver to your plant with our own tractor trailers without the need for bulk carriers.

We currently produce several different cullet sizes!

Filler ( Top ) Many products such as paint, carpet, tile, latex, rubber, and elastomeric coatings contain up to 50% of mineral fillers. The filler provides volume and increases viscosity in various products. Some common mineral fillers are calcium carbonate, kaolin, talc and silica. In order to produce a high quality product, these fillers must be tightly controlled. Paint and coating products are extremely sensitive to contaminates. An unwashed container of mayonnaise could produce enough residue to contaminate many gallons of paint, which causes long term product failure. In addition, it has been shown that dust particles from silica can cause a serious lung disease called silicosis. In an effort to protect the health of workers, we are pleased to produce a viable substitute product, which is completely safe and ultra clean.

Our filler, which is made from 100% recycled post consumer container glass, is eco-friendly and less damaging to mixing equipment because it is sharp free and does not have sharp grain edges like silica.

We currently produce filler material in 3 sizes:
80 mesh
325 mesh
400 mesh
 
 

 
Filtration ( Top ) Filtration materials are commonly used in residential pools and waster water treatment plants, in place of charcoal or sand. Waste water treatment plants must meet high standards set by The Environmental Agency. Studies have been conducted on the performance of glass filtration media in domestic water treatment plants. Findings have demonstrated that glass filtration media offers an advantage to many sand filters. Glass filtration media has been known to allow for backwash to easily filter through, and remove suspended solids efficiently. Recycled glass media is a ideal filtration media for this waste water treatment.

Our filtration media is made from 100% recycled post consumer container glass.

We are currently in the process of obtaining a NSF certification.
