Benefits of Abrasive Blasting for Surface Coating Preparation

Abrasive media is generally inexpensive and many types are reusable. Blasting offers additional economic advantages because it efficiently cleans surfaces better and faster than traditional techniques. It’s also effective at removing rust on metal surfaces.

Abrasive blasting prepares surfaces for coating applications effectively. During the process, it’s important to keep temperatures and relative humidity levels low using temporary climate control solutions to eliminate excess moisture that could hinder the protective coating’s application and drying. Temperature and humidity control is particularly vital when preparing metal surfaces, as the bare metal’s exposure to the environment makes is susceptible to oxidation.
