Abrasive Blasting
Aggresive media for coating removal and surface profiling
Media Blasting Services
We offer a full range of media blasting services using a wide variety of specialty blast medias. The media choice is dependent on:
- blasting environment
- surface/material to be blasted
- substrate material
- profile desired (different coatings call for specific “profiles” or specifically “profile depth”
Wet/Dustless/Vapor Blasting uses a mixture of blast media and water. Most available blasting media can be used wet or dry. When blasting, the water vapor captures dust particulates before they become airborne and cause inhalation risks.
- 99 % reduction in airborne dust compared to traditional dry blasting (e.g., sand blasting)
- Used in situations where large amounts of airborne dust cannot be created (congested areas)
Specialty Medias (less aggressive blasting media used for cleaning/coating removal without damaging delicate surfaces):
- Dry Ice (CO2
- Corncob-food/beverage industry
- Walnut-food/beverage industry (more aggressive)
- Soda-corrosion/coating removal from delicate substrates
- Plastic abrasives-blasting soft metals, composites, and plastics (aviation industry)
Aggressive Blasting Media:
- Sand, coal slag, copper slag, aluminum oxide, crushed glass, garnet, silicates (iron, magnesium), silicon carbide, pumice, steel grit
- Used to profile substrates prior to resinous coatings
