Abrasive blasting is carried out in seven blast rooms housing a range of abrasive; chilled angular iron, aluminium oxide, glass bead and plastic media.
This process is used to remove corrosion deposits and previously applied coatings to obtain surface cleanliness requirements.
Specified surface profiles and blast finishes can be achieved to internationally recognised standards.
Chilled Angle Iron
Used for surface preparation of ferrous substrates providing a clean profiled surface for coating application. Suitable for the removal of heavy corrosion deposits and the removal of previously applied coatings.
Aluminium Oxide (Non-metallic)
Used for the surface preparation of non-ferrous substrates to provide a clean profiled surface for coating application. Suitable for the preparation of thin gauge ferrous and non-ferrous substrates used at low pressure to avoid distortion.
Glass Bead
This media is used to provide a uniform smooth satin finish and it's primarily used on non-ferrous substrates. Common applications are as a suitable finish for use in the nuclear, medical and food industries.
Plastic Grit
This media is primarily used for the removal of existing paint systems. It is used extensively to depaint aircraft and military vehicles to allow for metallurgic inspection of the underlying substrate.
Glass Grit
Glass grit will achieve a less reflective surface than that achieved using glass bead and offers a slight texture.
Expendable Abrasives
This media is used on site as an economical solution for surface preparation and cleaning of ferrous and non ferrous substrates where recycling and reclaiming of the abrasive media is impracticable.
