Sandblasting Your surfaces: A Glimpse into Cleaning and Preparing Your Metals

Metals affected by rust, or wanting to achieve the perfect finish? You may want to check out sandblasting.

Sandblasting (also known as abrasive blasting) is a way to clean and restore metal surfaces.

Very small bits of blasting media are propelled at high velocity onto metallic surfaces, stripping them of surface contaminants such as rust, grime, or existing coatings.

Blasting media types include steel beads, garnet, walnut shell and more. HIPC offers garnet blasting, a non-toxic and environmentally friendly way to clean and strip tough surfaces of contaminants. This industrial gemstone is a strong blasting media, perfect for cleaning hard substrate metals like steel.

Your paint or powder finish will only be as good as your surface preparation

It's well known that a clean, smooth surface free of grime and rust is key to achieving maximum adhesion of your chosen finish to the metal's surface - whether that be paint, powder or otherwise.

Improper surface prep reduces the lifespan of your finish and could mean mean re-applying a coating much sooner than you would have needed to if done properly the first time.
