Grit & Chalk Blasting

Abrasive Surface Preparation

System Overview

Operational Context

Abrasive blasting techniques using grit, sand, or chalk to clean surfaces and provide a profile for coating adhesion.

The Challenge

Coatings will not adhere to smooth or contaminated surfaces, leading to early failure and delamination.

Our Solution

We provide controlled abrasive blasting to achieve the exact SA 2.5 or SA 3 cleanliness and profile required for coating specifications.
