Sandblasting removes rust, paint, corrosion, and other contaminants from the surface by blasting granular abrasive at high pressure before treatment or finishing. The surface is effectively scrubbed and cleaned by the friction of the abrasive moving over the surface under high pressure.<\/p>\n

This technology is widely used in various industries and is an essential part of the surface treatment process. Although the name comes from sand in the blasting process, you can do the work with various materials. It can also be used with water depending on the surface pretreatment requirements. For example, you can use softer materials such as crushed walnut shells for softer surfaces, but you need steel grains, sand, or glass beads for harder surfaces. Professional surface treatment services can help you determine the best material for your surface, regardless of which surface is prepared. Read on to discover the top five benefits of sandblasting for surface treatments.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Impurities are removed <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You will notice contaminants that can contact components during or after the manufacturing process, making coating and finishing impossible. Oils and fats are one of the most common causes. Even a thin oil film on a component can have a non-uniform surface or prevent the surface treatment from adhering. Old paint is another typical surface contamination that needs to be removed during refurbishment. Paint can be difficult to remove, especially if it is layered. Although it is possible to remove some oils, paints, and contaminants chemically, this process is time-consuming and requires the chemicals to be stored in the field. Sandblasting is a good-looking, effective and efficient alternative.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Rust inhibitor or removal <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Rust removal<\/a> can be the industry’s top priority for components and surfaces. It results from a chemical reaction between oxygen and metal and is difficult to remove. This causes pitching and uneven surfaces that are difficult to machine without extensive processing. Traditional grinding processes can take hours to remove rust; this service can quickly and effectively remove rust and restore the metal surface to a pre-oxidized state. This prepares you to pull back the smooth, shiny metal.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Surface Treatment <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        The sandblasting<\/strong><\/a> not only removes paints, corrosion, and contaminants from metals and other materials but also prepares the surface for new surface treatments or coatings. Abrasive blast removes a thin outer layer of material from the surface. This allows a smooth, glossy surface to apply immediately. After the process, your surface is ready to accept any paint or coating you have used.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Cost-Effectiveness <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          For many industries, many surface treatment technologies can be costly or cumbersome. On the other hand, blasting of sand is one of the cheapest, fastest, and most efficient surface treatment methods for painting or finishing. Many materials require hours of manual surface preparation with abrasive hand tools to remove paint and corrosion. In addition, some surface treatments require potentially dangerous exfoliation or degreasing chemicals that clean the surface but require time and storage. Sandblasting saves time and money by keeping production lines and projects on track.<\/p>\n

          Consider blasting surface treatments if standard surface treatment techniques do not meet your needs. It cleans a wide range of pollutants<\/a> and deposits from the surface and is at the same time safe for people and the environment. For more information on sandblasting surface treatments, consider the advice of a professional that has been doing the work for a long time.<\/p>\n
