Abrasive blasting is similar to sand blasting only we have experience using more than just sand to clean and restore surfaces. Let us assess your project to determine the best method for you!
Abrasive blasting is the cleaning or preparing of a surface by forcibly propelling a stream of abrasive material against the surface using sand, corncob, aluminum oxide, baking soda, garnet, steel shot, walnut shells, and others. Abrasive blasting is being used in many different applications.
• To roughen surfaces in preparation for bonding, painting or coating.
• To remove burr.
• To develop a matte surface finish.
• To remove flash from molding operations.
Abrasive blasting helps eliminate the use of organic solvent stripping and the generation of toxic waste material. A wide range of abrasive blasting equipment is available and blasting conditions can be selected to suit the coating and substrate. In most applications, the abrasive media are collected, cleaned to remove coating debris, and reused.
Types of surfaces or locations we've blasted in the past:
• Cement
• Brick
• Metal
• Wood
• Pools and Pool decks
• Paper Mill
• Industrial drums
• Industrial Kitchens
• Parking Garages
We've removed the below from the above list of surfaces:
• Epoxy
• Paint
• Rust
• Stains
• Char
• Oil
Media we frequently use:

Media we frequently use:
-
• Soda is a biodegradable media that is also a naturally occurring element making it environmentally friendly. It is used on more delicate surfaces to minimize or prevent etching.
• Steel Shot is used primarily in cement and epoxy situations. This dense, smooth shot can be used up to 3,000 times producing minimal dust during the blasting process increased compressive strength of the metal.
• Corncob is a biodegradable blast media that will not etch or warp surface being blasted. Ideal for applications such as wood log homes and thin metals and plastics.
• Walnut Shells - Walnut Shell Grit is the most versatile of the organic media due to its angular, durable shape yet is still considered a soft media. Use as an economical, biodegradable alternative for sensitive blasting operations that require aggressive stripping without affect on the substrate.
• Sand is a more aggressive media used on a variety of surfaces. We use Green Diamond sand which contains no free silica, eliminating the risk of respiratory silicosis, making this a product that is safe for those who handle it. Our products are also proven to be environmentally safe. This combined with its inherent properties of hardness and durability makes Green Diamond's sand one that will not only perform well but will also treat you, our employees, and the environment in a safe healthy manner.
• Green Diamond Sand - Contain no free silica, eliminating the risk of silicosis.
• Approved to be environmentally safe.
• Moisture free - will not pack or absorb moisture.
• Faster cutting due to its durability and sharp angular edges.
• Leaves surfaces clean.
• Available in many sizes and custom blends to be used in numerous applications from the removal of tough permanent bonds, to a lower profile for removing light paint and rust.
