Protective coatings are applied to surfaces to shield them from corrosion, chemicals, moisture, UV rays and other environmental factors. Common types include primers, epoxy, polyurethane, zinc-rich coatings and heat-resistant paints. These coatings are used on equipment, vehicles, pipelines, marine vessels and infrastructure to prolong lifespan and maintain structural integrity. They also improve safety by preventing surface deterioration and ensuring visibility through colour coding. The choice of coating depends on the surface material and its exposure conditions. Proper surface prep—often through abrasive blasting—is essential for coatings to bond correctly. Protective coatings play a vital role in long-term maintenance and performance.

Steel grit is an angular abrasive material made from hardened steel. It’s commonly used in abrasive blasting to clean, strip and prepare surfaces, especially metal. Due to its hardness and sharp edges, it’s highly effective for removing rust, mill scale and old coatings. Steel grit is often used in industrial settings where aggressive blasting is required, such as on mining equipment, large vehicles or steel structures. It’s also reusable, making it cost-effective for large projects. The grit size determines the surface profile, with coarser grits used for deeper cleaning. Steel grit delivers a clean, rough surface ideal for paint adhesion.

Crushed glass media is made from recycled glass and is used as an abrasive for blasting applications. It has sharp, angular edges that efficiently strip away coatings, rust and contaminants without damaging the underlying surface. It’s ideal for use on aluminium, stainless steel and fibreglass where gentler abrasives are required. Crushed glass produces low dust, making it safer for workers and reducing cleanup time. It’s also environmentally friendly and often chosen for projects requiring sustainable materials. Because of its lighter weight, it can be more efficient to use, cutting down on material usage and blasting time while delivering great results.
