Amaso eglasi enziwa ngokudubula isanti yeglasi. Ngokobukhulu, amaso eglasi anokwahlulwa abe ngamaso eglasi (amaso eglasi luhlobo lwamaso eglasi kwaye abhekisele kwiingqukuva eziqinileyo ezinobukhulu obungaphantsi kwe-1 mm) kunye namaso eglasi. Ngokusetyenziswa, inokwahlulwa ibe ngamaso eglasi abonakalisayo, amaso eglasi yesandblasting, amaso eglasi yokusila, kunye nokuzalisa amaso eglasi. Phakathi kwazo, amaso eglasi abonakalisayo anokwahlulwa abe ngamaso eglasi akhuselayo kunye neentsimbi zeglasi; Ngokwesalathiso se-refractive index, sinokwahlulwa sibe yi-refractive index jikelele kunye ne-high refractive index beads yeglasi. Uluhlu oluqhelekileyo lwe-refractive index luphakathi kwe-1.5-1.64, kwaye isalathisi esiphezulu se-refractive index ngokuqhelekileyo si-1.8-2.2. Ukucinga ukuba eyona nto ifanelekileyo ekuboniseni i-glass beads kunye ne-refractive index ye-1.93, le index ye-refractive inokutshintshwa ngokwanelisayo ibuyele kwimitha ehambelanayo, ngoko ke i-index ye-refractive index ayiyona into engcono kakhulu.
