Abrasive Cleaning
Abrasive is the operation of forcibly propelling a stream of abrasive material with air pressure against a surface. The sandblasting operation is done under high pressure to clean the old paints, dirt, deterioration, contaminants, unwanted material, there is also a technique wherein rough surface is flushed, smooth surfaces are sand blasted to get rough grain effect.
It is important to take opinion of an expert about the object, its porosity and take a decision of what media to be used in abrasive cleaning.
Sand Blasting process
Sandblasting is the process of effectively and powerfully impelling a stream of abrasive material against the surface under high pressure to smooth the rough surface, alter the shape of the body or eradicate rusts, oil, pollution and contaminants of the surface, spontaneously and effectively.
Heritage Micro-blasting & Industrial Sand Blasting
• Surface preparation prior to painting, bonding or other coating operations
• Removal of rust, scale, sand, or paint from fabricated components
• Removal of burrs or edge profiling machined components
• Providing a matte cosmetic surface finish on consumer products
• Removal of mold flash from plastic components
• Surface texturing of tooling, and molds to alter the appearance of molded or stamped products
Materials on which Abrasive can be done:
• Garnet &Aluminum Oxide – both these materials are most common for Shot Blasting,
