Sandblasting uses steel grit, walnut and coconut shells, copper slag, or powdered abrasives to clean various surfaces. The particles get delivered to the surfaces via air compressors and blaster nozzles, with collectors also used to acquire excess dust. Sandblasting provides a non-toxic, safe, time-saving service applicable to several situations.

What Projects Benefit From Sandblasting?

1. Equipment Restoration

Rust not only looks unsightly, but it also weakens metal to render it unsafe and, at times, unusable. Sandblasting eliminates rust from commercial kitchen, industrial, and automotive equipment to keep it functional for years. It also works on rusted metal fencing, outdoor works of art, like metal sculptures, and most other alloy-based objects.

2. Automotive & Building Cleaning

Remove layers of dirt, oil, and other grime from automotive parts with sandblasting. For example, dirty engines cannot operate efficiently because their various parts get stuck in sludge and dirt. This non-toxic cleaning solution keeps harsh chemicals that can degrade vehicle paint out of the maintenance process to prevent premature part failure and replacement. You can also use it to blast away grime on brick buildings or any other brickwork to keep it in good condition and aesthetically pleasing.

3. Smooths Surfaces For Painting

Rely on this time-saving service to prep surfaces for painting, such as vehicle panels that need cleaning before restoration. It also cleans residential siding and fencing for streamlined painting projects. Sandblasting removes all traces of dust and dirt, so paint adheres to the surface instead of getting mixed with contaminants to create a gritty, unattractive result. Smooth surfaces that are free of pollutants also maintain paint quality for a more extended period and throughout adverse weather conditions.
