Sandblasting is a technique used to smooth a gritty or textured surface. While sanding uses a rough square to smooth wood by hand, sandblasting uses a high-powered stream of fine materials to refine larger surfaces. Compared to other methods, a good welding company will rely on this technique to be more effective, quicker, and environmentally friendly.

Here we’ll take a closer look at each of these three benefits: 

1. Effective 

Sandblasting is an incredibly effective technique used to both clean surfaces and also prepare them for additional coatings or sealants. Though the job requires a professional, the equipment allows them to get the job done fast and error-free. Moreover, the film left behind after the blasting enhances durability. As the metal is exposed to air and chemicals, it prevents rusting and oxidization.

2. Quick

The process of sandblasting is up to three times faster than any other method of cleaning or polishing. As a result, the process saves money for the supplier and the customer. It is also simple to clean up once the job is completed. Before work begins, protective tarps are laid out, so the professional only has to pick up the tarps and dispose of the sand.

3. Environmentally Friendly 

Sandblasting is safe for the environment and non-toxic to people, as the bits used in the blasting are often recycled and natural. It is also safe to inhale, and whatever debris spreads outdoors would break down organically and contribute to the soil.
