Abrasive blasting is a surface preparation method where abrasive material is forcefully propelled against a surface to remove contaminants, paint, rust or scale. This process is commonly used to clean metal surfaces before coating or painting. Different blasting media, like steel grit or crushed glass, can be selected depending on the surface type and desired finish. The method ensures better adhesion for paints or protective coatings by creating a clean, roughened profile. Abrasive blasting is used across many industries including construction, automotive, marine and manufacturing. It offers efficient cleaning, restores aged surfaces and prepares items for long-term durability and performance.

Abrasive blasting can be used on a wide variety of materials, particularly hard surfaces that require cleaning or preparation. Common materials include steel, aluminium, cast iron, stainless steel and other metals. It can also be used on concrete, stone and certain types of glass or wood, depending on the abrasive medium and pressure. The versatility of blasting makes it suitable for everything from large-scale industrial components to small machinery parts, metal furniture or decorative pieces. Choosing the right blasting media and settings ensures that the surface is cleaned effectively without damage, allowing for safe and efficient preparation for coatings.

While the terms are often used interchangeably, abrasive blasting refers to a broader category of surface cleaning techniques, whereas sandblasting specifically involves the use of sand as the abrasive material. Due to health and safety concerns, sand is now rarely used. Instead, materials like steel grit, crushed glass, garnet and aluminium oxide have become more common. These media offer different levels of aggressiveness and are suited to different applications. Abrasive blasting allows for more control, better results and safer working conditions. It’s suitable for cleaning, etching or preparing surfaces for paint, coating or restoration in a variety of settings.
