VAPOR / ABRASIVE BLASTING / SAND BLASTING

Abrasive Blasting includes the use of glass beads, garnet, walnut shells, coal slag “Black Blast”, corncob, aluminum oxide and other specialty grits conveyed by compressed air to impact a surface to remove paint, stains, foreign matter and to prepare the substrate for a new coating.

 From steel beams for metal buildings to concrete walls, this process is unmatched in preparing surfaces for recoating.

Some of our clients include First Potomac, Kings Dominion, Capital One, Ultimate Pool, Baskerville.

VAPOR BLASTING

This emerging technology is super environmentally friendly and has proven priceless in our arsenal of blasting services.  Using a combination of water and crushed glass, garnite or walnuts we can delicately remove coatings from wood, metal or concrete.

Advantages of Vapor Blasting

• Dust free process
• Cleans by flow of water not by impact
• Simultaneously degrease & blast clean
• Water acts as a lubricant between media & component
• Promotes longer media life
• Produces a 'softer' finish
• Avoids media impregnation on soft materials

Typical Applications

• Degreasing / surface finishing
• Removal of paint, rust, scale, carbon & similar deposits in engineering industries
• Surface preparation prior to bonding, re-painting or re-coating
• Satin finishing of stainless steels & other special materials
