Blasting overview and products
Shot blasting is a mechanical surface preparation process that propels abrasive media at high speeds using centrifugal force or compressed air. It is primarily used to remove rust, mill scale, and old coatings, while simultaneously modifying metal and concrete surfaces to ensure proper adhesion for future protective layers.
Key End-Use Sectors
- Automotive & Aerospace: Used for descaling castings, improving fatigue life of critical engine and structural parts, and preparing vehicle components for coatings.
- Marine & Shipbuilding: Vital for stripping away heavy rust, marine growth, and old anti-corrosive coatings from ship hulls and offshore structures.
- Construction & Infrastructure: Prepares steel frameworks and concrete floors for paint, waterproofing, or resin coatings to prevent long-term corrosion.
- Oil & Gas: Essential for maintaining the structural integrity of pipelines and the interior of massive storage tanks.
