Sandblasting

What is Sandblasting?

Sandblasting, also known as abrasive blasting, is a process used to clean, smooth, or shape surfaces using a stream of abrasive material propelled at high speed. This material, often sand but can include other abrasives like steel grit, glass beads, or walnut shells, is directed under high pressure to remove surface contaminants, paint, rust, or other coatings from a variety of surfaces, including metal, wood, concrete, and glass.

The process not only cleans and prepares surfaces for treatments like painting or powder coating but can also create a desired texture or finish on the material. Sandblasting is widely used in various industries for restoration, renovation, and protective coating applications due to its efficiency and effectiveness.
