ABRASIVE BLASTING
Abrasive blasting is a surface preparation technique which involves using a mechanical force to propel blast media at the surface to be cleaned. The method efficiently removes corrosion and other contaminants from various surfaces, getting it ready for new protective coatings to be applied.
