Abrasive Blasting
Abrasive blasting cleaning is an economical and fast way of removing old coatings and preparing a surface for recoating.
Is it Environmentally Friendly?
Sand Blasting is an environmentally friendly process. With EPA regulations growing ever stricter, powder coating is fast becoming the technology of choice. Since the powder coating process does not use solvents in any way, VOC emission problems are eliminated.
What can be sand blasted?
Any material that needs to be cleaned and prepared for powder coating, painting or other treatment such as:
- Steel
- Stainless Steel
- Stone
- Glass
- Metals
- Wood
- Plastics
- Brass
- Aluminum
- Pewter
- Silver
Most materials can be sandblasted except for diamond which is harder than all sandblasting media. Stone is regularly sandblasted as a way to create gravestones and memorials. Metal is sandblasted to remove rust and sharp edges or as a way to enhance adhesion of coatings and adhesives. Wood and brick is sandblasted to remove years of paint, oil and dirt and to produce a clean surface for staining and painting. Certain types of plastic can be sandblasted for decorative effects, but the work has to be done very carefully, as the plastic can be much softer than the abrasive and will wear away quickly.
