Abrasive blasting can be safe for many surfaces if the correct media, pressure and technique are used. However, not all surfaces respond the same way. Hard metals like steel and iron tolerate aggressive media like steel grit, while softer materials such as aluminium or fibreglass may require gentler abrasives like crushed glass or walnut shells. Using the wrong combination can damage the surface or result in poor adhesion of coatings. It’s important to assess the substrate before blasting. Skilled technicians will match the media and method to the job, ensuring the surface is cleaned effectively without causing structural harm.

Wet blasting involves mixing the abrasive material with water before it’s applied to a surface, while dry blasting uses compressed air alone to propel the abrasive. Wet blasting helps reduce dust during the process, making it ideal for environments where airborne particles are a concern. It also tends to produce a smoother finish, which can be beneficial for delicate items or when surface damage needs to be avoided. Dry blasting, on the other hand, is more aggressive and suited to removing tough coatings like rust or heavy paint. Both methods are effective, and the choice depends on the project’s goals, environment and material.

Yes, abrasive blasting is one of the most effective ways to remove paint and rust from a variety of surfaces. The high-speed impact of abrasive particles strips away surface layers, including peeling paint, corrosion, scale and other contaminants. This process not only cleans the item but also prepares it for repainting or coating by creating a suitable texture for adhesion. Depending on the condition of the item and the material it’s made from, different abrasives like steel grit or crushed glass may be used. It’s a preferred method for restoring metal components, vehicles, equipment and more, ensuring a thorough clean without harsh chemicals.
