Sandblasting is a mechanical part preparation technique that removes all traces of oil, grease, dirt, dust, scale, rust, paint and corrosive products depending on the desired degree of sanding.
This cleaning process restores a part’s initial appearance by preparing them adequately for the coating application. Sandblasting improves paint adhesion to different metal parts. The sanding is done by the projection of steel dust at high speed onto the metal part.
The sanding degrees may vary and can be determined jointly with our experts, according to your needs. We follow the standards set by the Steel Structures Painting Council (SSPC).
