Powerful abrasive blasting for heavy-duty surface preparation and coating removal
Heavy-Duty Abrasive Blasting
​
Media blasting, also known as abrasive blasting or sandblasting, is a powerful surface preparation method that uses compressed air to propel abrasive media at high velocity against a surface. This aggressive process is ideal for removing heavy rust, mill scale, old coatings, and other stubborn contaminants from robust industrial components.
​
We use various types of abrasive media depending on the application, including aluminum oxide, steel grit, glass bead, and specialized media for specific requirements. Each media type has different characteristics in terms of aggressiveness, cutting speed, and the surface profile it creates, allowing us to tailor the process to your exact needs.
​
Media blasting excels at preparing surfaces for coating applications. It creates an ideal surface profile that allows paints, powder coatings, and other protective finishes to achieve maximum adhesion. This is critical for ensuring long-lasting corrosion protection and coating performance.
​
Our industrial blasting equipment can handle large components and high-volume production work. Whether you need a single large fabrication cleaned or ongoing surface preparation for production parts, we have the capacity and expertise to deliver consistent, high-quality results.

Critical for Coating Success
Proper surface preparation is the single most important factor in coating performance and longevity. Media blasting removes contaminants and creates a surface profile that allows coatings to mechanically anchor to the substrate, dramatically improving adhesion and durability
.
Industry standards such as SSPC (Society for Protective Coatings) and ISO 8501 define various levels of surface preparation achievable through blasting. We can prepare surfaces to these specifications, ensuring your coating system performs as intended and provides maximum protection.
​
Whether you're applying industrial paint, powder coating, thermal spray, or other protective finishes, proper media blasting preparation is essential for achieving the expected service life and performance from your coating investment.
When To Choose Media Blasting
Heavy Contamination
​
When parts have heavy rust, thick coatings, or mill scale that requires aggressive removal.
Surface Profile Needed
​
When preparing surfaces for coating and a specific surface profile is required for adhesion
Robust Components
​
When working with structural steel, heavy fabrications, or parts that can withstand aggressive cleaning.
