Grit Blasting and Surface Preparation...
Abrasive Blasting commonly known as Sand or Grit Blasting refers to the process of propelling fine pieces of material or media onto a surface at an extremely high velocity.
With the correct knowledge and adjustments it can be used for a huge variety of different purposes such as surface preparation, etching or cleaning of all kinds of materials. Right down to the most intricate restoration of complex and delicate items and even to create customised designs.
How does Grit Blasting work?
Air is the main fuel used for abrasive blasting, allowing the abrasive media mixed in the air to reach the high speeds that are necessary for the process to be effective. The higher the pressure and coarser the abrasive is, the more intense the results will be.Utilising fine and coarse abrasive media from crushed glass to walnut shells, and ceramic balls to plastic depending on the surface and the finish required. Abrasive blasting is extremely effective at removing residues, contaminants and scale. Cleaning dirt build up, and removing rust or coatings to create a surface ready for the protective coating to adhere. It is much more versatile than most realise and can improve and increase efficiency of a never ending range of products and equipment across many different industries.
