SANDBLASTING
Sandblasting is the fast and precise way to clean metal.
It restores surfaces by removing dirt and corrosion, stains and contaminants, paint and plating. The bare metal exposed by sandblasting leaves an excellent surface for powder coating or spray painting. That makes this process an ideal pre-treatment.
Starting with a well-cleaned surface will give you the very best paint finish. Even tiny amounts of oil or other residue can result in imperfections. Or worse, cause your chosen finish to fail. So, whether or not the metal has been painted before, your final product will benefit from sandblasting.
Benefits of sandblasting
Sandblasting is a straight-forward process that’s highly effective in achieving the result you need. Some of the many advantages to this treatment include:
Base metal
strips metal clean to leave a surface that’s ideal to finish by powder coating or spray painting
Surface profile
creates a smooth but finely toothed surface with tiny ridges that help paint adhere properly
Wide application
can be used on a range of parts, components, hot or cold worked and unfinished metal
Eco friendly
uses no harmful chemicals, just high pressure air and safe mediums like bi-carb soda, glass beads and garnet
Scouring action
strips paint or old finishes plus removes rust, oil, dirt and grime and surface contaminants
What can be sandblasted?
Sandblasting is a fast and accurate way to clean surfaces. While it can be applied to concrete and other materials, this technique is most commonly used for metal. Because the technician has a high degree of control, the process is safe and effective from small parts to industrial-scale.
Parts manufacturers, panel beaters, metal workers and many others use sandblasting. But this process isn’t just for trades. Sandblasting can refinish items like enamel baths for your home renovation. Car restorers find the robust metal of older vehicles withstands sandblasting well too.
