Media Blasting 101
Media Blasting is the operation of forcibly propelling a stream of abrasive material against a surface under high pressure to smooth a rough surface, roughen a smooth surface, shape a surface, or remove surface contaminants.
A pressurized fluid, typically compressed air, or a centrifugal wheel is used to propel the blasting material
(often called the media).
There are several variants of the process, using various media; some are highly abrasive, whereas others are milder. The most abrasive are shot blasting (with metal shot) and sandblasting (with sand). Moderately abrasive variants include glass bead blasting (with glass beads) and media blasting with ground-up plastic stock or walnut shells
and corncobs. A mild version is sodablasting (with baking soda). Here at BSI, we will assist you with determining
the best method of blasting that will deliver the best results at the best prices with on-time delivery every time!
Industrial
Industrial media blasting uses various materials to strip imperfections, paint, rust and other contaminants from a surface. It’s an important step in surface coating preparation, as it cleans a substrate and creates a surface that will hold a protective coating. Blasting takes the place of more labor-intensive cleaning methods like wire brushing or sanding, and can speed up the surface preparation process by up to 75 percent.
