Who are we?

Sandblasting, also known as abrasive blasting, is a professional surface preparation process that uses controlled high-pressure abrasive media to clean, smooth, or properly profile surfaces. It is commonly used to remove contaminants, old coatings, corrosion, and surface buildup while preparing concrete, steel, and other materials for new finishes. Depending on the application, different methods such as bead blasting, soda blasting, and shot blasting are used to achieve the required surface condition without damaging the substrate.

What is sandblasting
used for?

Sandblasting is an effective method for removing rust, paint, and corrosion residue from a wide range of materials. It is also commonly used to modify metal surfaces by eliminating scratches, casting marks, and surface imperfections. In addition, sandblasting serves as a proven industrial cleaning process that has been widely utilized for many years

What is an abrasive blaster?

Abrasive Blasting, is also known as sandblasting, and is the operation of by force streaming of abrasive material against a surface under a high pressure to smooth a rough surface, roughen a smooth surface, shape a surface or eradicate surface contaminants

What is abrasive blasting used for?

Abrasive blasting is a professional surface-preparation process that uses compressed air or water to propel a controlled, high-velocity abrasive stream. This method thoroughly cleans and conditions surfaces by removing contaminants, coatings, and imperfections, creating the ideal profile for long-lasting paint, epoxy, or protective coatings to properly bond and perform

There are Two Types of Sandblasting Processes:

• Water-Driven It is applied for reducing surface deterioration, most commonly water water-driven process is used for brick or concrete surfaces.

• Air-Driven - This process is best suited for metal surfaces, to prevent moisture buildup and avoid water intrusion in the surface.

• Sandblasting is the process of propelling abrasive by using the pressurized liquid or compressed gas as propellant. There are many generic terms for this process that is generally related to the sandblasting abrasive media used for this process. Here are the details of abrasive materials.

Materials which can be Sandblasted:

Glass
Metal
Stone
Wood

Plastic Steel
Brass
Aluminium
Silver

Sand Blasting & Abrasive Blasting

Why Sandblasting?

Sandblasting is an effective method to prepare surfaces for high-performance coatings. It helps to:

Remove rust, mill scale, old coatings, and contamination

Clean a range of materials, including steel, iron, copper, brass, aluminum, and glass

Our sandblasting Capabilities

Profile Depth: We can achieve profiles from 0.5 mils to 5 mils deep.

What Products we use

White Lightning Sand (#20 & #40)

White Lightning Sand, also known as Nepheline Syenite, is a light industrial sandblasting media composed of whole-grain sodium potassium aluminum silicate with less than 0.1% crystalline silica, making it a safer alternative to traditional silica sands. It is softer and smoother than most sands and slags, providing effective paint and rust removal while minimizing surface damage. Its white color leaves blasted surfaces visibly cleaner and more uniform, improving surface preparation for coatings. Environmentally safe and suitable for outdoor use, White Lightning Sand also helps reduce nuisance dust and is commonly used for concrete surface preparation and select structural steel applications

Glass Beads (in bags of 40)

Glass Beads Sand is a hardened, spherical soda-lime glass abrasive used for precision sandblasting across a wide range of materials, including aluminum, stainless steel, metal, glass, plastic, and rubber. Its uniform bead shape allows it to access tight or detailed areas effectively, making it a cost-efficient and versatile blasting media. Glass beads remove paint, light corrosion, and surface imperfections while producing a smooth, clean finish with minimal dust, without aggressively cutting into the substrate. This media is commonly used for cleaning, deburring, surface finishing, and improving corrosion resistance, and is especially recommended for aluminum, metal, and stainless steel sandblasting applications

Black Shot Sand (#30)

Black Shot Sand is a high-density abrasive made from crushed, water-quenched coal slag and copper slag, produced as a secondary byproduct of coal-fired power stations and copper smelting processes. It is widely used for maintenance blasting, including paint and rust removal, surface cleaning, mill scale removal, and aggregate exposure. Due to its bulky density and aggressive cutting action, Black Shot Sand delivers efficient, thorough surface preparation for repair and restoration work. This blasting media is especially recommended for structural steel sandblasting where strong cleaning and profiling performance is required

Silica Sand

Silica Sand, also known as White Sand, Quartz Sand, or Industrial Sand, is primarily composed of silicon dioxide formed from silica and oxygen. Its appearance can range from white to colorless or lightly shaded, depending on the mineral composition and rock detritus present. While it contains silica, the overall composition may include other minerals such as carbonates, iron, and potassium. Known for its strength, durability, and thermal stability, Silica Sand performs well in high-temperature environments due to its low thermal expansion and high melting point. It is commonly recommended for sandblasting wood, where controlled abrasion and surface integrity are required

Clear Blast Sand

Clear Blast Sand is a silica sand alternative produced from recycled glass and engineered for clean, efficient abrasive blasting. Manufactured to eliminate the crystalline silica portion found in traditional sands, it delivers low dust generation, reduced abrasive consumption, and high cleaning speed. Clear Blast Sand produces a bright, clean surface with an excellent profile, making it an effective and environmentally responsible choice for a wide range of sandblasting applications

Recycled glass media

Recycled glass media is a hardened, spherical soda-lime glass abrasive suitable for sandblasting a wide range of materials, including aluminum, stainless steel, metal, glass, plastic, and rubber. It is a cost-effective option that performs well in tight or detailed areas, making it ideal for precision surface preparation. This media effectively removes paint, light corrosion, and surface burrs while producing minimal dust and a smooth, clean finish. Recycled glass media is commonly used for cleaning, deburring, and enhancing corrosion resistance, and is especially recommended for aluminum, metal, and stainless steel sandblasting applications
