Sandblasting is a highly effective method for removing stubborn dirt, rust, old paint, and other coatings from surfaces. It employs kinetic energy to propel abrasive materials, such as sand, steel grit, or other media, at high velocities. This process dislodges unwanted materials, leaving the surface clean and ready for further treatment or coatings. 

Sandblasting is employed across diverse industries, including automotive, construction, aerospace, marine, manufacturing, and art restoration. It’s used to clean and prepare surfaces for painting, coating, welding, or bonding, ensuring optimal adhesion and longevity.

Beyond industrial applications, sandblasting finds its way into artistic and decorative endeavors. Artists and craftsmen use the technique to etch designs, patterns, and textures onto glass, metal, wood, and stone surfaces.

While traditional sandblasting often used sand as the abrasive material, newer, more environmentally friendly alternatives like garnet, glass beads, or even recycled materials are now preferred. These options reduce dust and the release of harmful particles into the environment.
