A method of cleaning or etching a surface by blasting it with sand or other abrasive materials.
INFO
What it is
Sandblasting is a method of cleaning, etching, or profiling a surface by blasting it with sand or other abrasive media under pressure. It is a common form of blast cleaning.
Why it matters
It removes old coatings, rust, and contaminants thoroughly and creates a profile for new coatings to grip. As with all blasting, matching the media and pressure to the substrate is essential to avoid damage.
Where it is used on a project
Used on metalwork, masonry, and heavily weathered surfaces that need a thorough clean and profile before recoating.
How NECC approaches it
We carry out abrasive blasting matched to the substrate, controlling media, pressure, and debris so surfaces are properly prepared and protected for the new coating.
