Welcome to our Sand Blasting Section!
Sand blasting is an effective method for preparing surfaces by removing contaminants and creating a textured surface for adhesion. At Inland Powder Coating our sand blasting services offer:
-
Surface Preparation: Sand blasting removes rust, scale, and old coatings, preparing surfaces for optimal adhesion of coatings.
-
Uniformity: Achieve a uniform and clean surface, promoting better coating adhesion and a smoother finish.
-
Versatility: Sand blasting is suitable for a variety of materials, from metal to wood, making it a versatile surface preparation method.

What is Sand Blasting?
Sand blasting, also known as abrasive blasting, is a surface preparation technique that involves using high-pressure air to propel abrasive materials (such as sand, glass beads, or steel grit) against a surface. This process is effective for removing rust, old coatings, and contaminants, creating a clean and textured surface for further treatment.
How Does Sand Blasting Work?
-
Surface Preparation: The object to be treated is placed in a controlled environment, often within a blasting booth, to contain the abrasive materials and prevent environmental contamination.
-
Abrasive Propulsion: Abrasive material, such as sand or other media, is propelled at high velocity through a blasting nozzle by compressed air or centrifugal force.
-
Impact on Surface: The abrasive particles strike the surface, removing contaminants, old coatings, and impurities. This process creates a textured surface ideal for coating adhesion.
-
Cleaning and Profiling: Sand blasting not only cleans the surface but also creates a profile or texture on the substrate, enhancing the adhesion of coatings.
Benefits of Sand Blasting:
-
Efficient Surface Preparation: Rapidly removes rust, scale, old coatings, and contaminants from surfaces.
-
Versatility: Suitable for various materials, including metal, concrete, and wood, making it a versatile method for surface preparation.
-
Profile Control: Provides control over the texture or profile of the surface, allowing customization based on coating requirements.
-
Preventive Treatment: Can be used as a preventive measure to remove surface impurities and extend the life of coated surfaces.
Applications:
-
Metal Fabrication: Prepares metal surfaces before welding, painting, or coating.
-
Structural Cleaning: Ideal for cleaning and preparing surfaces on buildings, bridges, and industrial structures.
