Preparing a surface can be a challenging and time-consuming activity, especially if you are removing layers of paint or other coating products that have been there for a long time. Grinding, scraping, applying heat, and using chemicals (thermochemical stripping) are hard work because the same adhesive that cause paint to bond also make it hard to remove.
Although many different tools and technologies have been developed for surface cleaning and preparation, the wet and dry abrasive blasting processes have become the most common and widely used methods. But not all abrasive blasting methods are the same and in the end, it’s about finding the best solution to get the job done quickly and with as little dust, water and media as possible.
