Sandblasting involves directing high pressure stream of abrasive small-size particles using air or water at a part in order to improve surface finish and remove burrs. It can also create a texture on the surface, in preparation for additional coating or painting. The nature of the process is such that there are safety risks, so it should be conducted in a controlled environment by professionals trained in the use of the equipment. Personal protection equipment should be provided for the operators. Equipment should be checked and cleaned both before and after the process.
Key Takeaways:
- Sand blasting should always be performed by professionals in a controlled environment for safety.
- Secure the environment before blasting and make sure your blasting equipment is free from cracks or other damage.
- Make sure you have proper protective gear and clean up well after the blasting.
