Better surface preparation 

 When it comes to cleaning and preparing surfaces, industry is increasingly adopting wet abrasive blasting as the most efficient and effective method. It removes rust, scaling and other contaminants from almost all surfaces, and better prepares substrates for painting and protective coating.  

 

Wet abrasive blasting is so effective at surface preparation prior to the application of protective coating because, while the surface is now clear of contaminants, it is not rendered entirely smooth. Minute peaks and troughs are formed, and these enable the paint or coating that is being applied to ‘anchor’ more completely on to the surface. 

 

While dry blasting methods aim to achieve the same results, minute remnants of media can often become embedded in the surface being blasted, so that the surface is not entirely clean nor contaminant free, and this can ultimately compromise the adhesive qualities of the protective coating. 

Media Choices

Crushed Glass or Glass Beads would have to be one of the most popular forms of blast media and can be used on a variety of dustless blasting and abrasive blasting projects across all industry sectors.

Using crushed glass for your projects means you know you are using a eco friendly and recycled product that helps save the environment. 

Crystal Abrasive Blasting materials work in the same way as other blasting materials, although does an amazing job for the purpose in which it is intended.

Crystal Blast Media has the ability to handle a wide variety of Dustless Blasting projects.

Plastic Blast Media is Dust free. A synthetic Abrasive Blasting Media that is used for deflashing plastic components, cleaning electronic connections, circuit boards, dies and moulds.

Plastic Blasting materials can really help you to achieve an amazing results, with little cost and effort compared to traditional Sandblasting products and services.

Garnet is one of the last few abrasives that are naturally mined, and not a man made abrasive.

It is an industrial gemstone that creates a profile virtually free of embedment, which makes it excellent for coating adhesion, as well as applications where low or no transfer of grit into the substrate can be tolerated.

Used as a non-metallic Abrasive Media to prevent cross contamination caused by dissimilar metals, This blast media is a cheap, all purpose Abrasive Media. 

Stauralite is a lesser known blasting substrate or wet blasting material available  for Soda Blasting, Wet Blasting and Dustless Blasting machines and equipment.
