  1.  Introduction No matter how thick and good the paint is, unfortunately, it does not last forever. The external painting of your house, the paint on your car or boat, or the steel underneath the bridges starts to fade, peel or flake over time with the influence of the elements of weather. In addition, steel, iron and other ferrous objects start to corrode over time with the impact of moisture in the atmosphere. Corrosion is a huge problem across many industries and billions of dollars are spent on restoring ships, bridges, jetties, pipelines, etc. Even historical monuments lose their shine, become dirty, develop rust, and without restoration, are likely to crumble. Restoration can be efficiently and effectively done with the right technology. There are many ways of cleaning and removing paint or corrosion namely – chemical stripping, thermal stripping, manual sanding, dry sandblasting, high-pressure water cleaning, and wet abrasive blasting. However, all these methods with...

  Introduction Choosing the correct abrasive media for wet blasting is very important because an inappropriate media choice will not provide the desired finish. It can not only cause a rework but in some cases may cause damage to the blasted surface. This article guides you in choosing the appropriate media for a wet blasting cabinet. Different abrasive media that can be used in a wet blast cabinet The different abrasive media that you normally use in a wet blast cabinet are garnet, glass bead, aluminum oxide, crushed glass, and soda bi-carbonate Garnet (Almandine and Alluvial) :  Garnet is a type of gemstone and has good natural abrasive properties. Garnet has a sub-angular shape, Mohs hardness number 7 to 7.5, comes in different grit sizes and it can remove coatings, old paint, rust, and mill scale from metal surfaces and can work on hard metals also. The coarser grit is suitable for working on aluminum, steel, stainless steel, and other metals and finer grit is suitable for...

Many people are gravitating to wet abrasive blasting due to the significant benefit of being able to control the dust from abrasive blasting. However, while adopting wet abrasive blasting, they confuse wet blasting, water injection blasting and vapour abrasive blasting. Wet blasting and water injection blasting are archaic forms of wet abrasive blasting and have many shortcomings compared to vapour blasting.  The technology used in wet blasting is basic and primitive and suited to ‘DIY’ operators rather than professional blasters. There are two types of wet blasting nozzles. The RapidBlast™ Vapour Blasting equipment offers the best leading edge technology in Vapour Blasting that is more effective, efficient and environmentally friendly.
