Sandblasting and Surface Preparation for Municipal Equipment
The primary benefit of abrasive blasting is that the media used are inert, which means that they do not react chemically with the material being cleaned.
Alternative methods which use chemical cleaners run the risk of potential reaction and damage to the underlying material. These effects are not always immediately detectable, and problems can become evident long after the surface has been coated. The surface then has to be re-stripped and re-coated, adding to the cost of the process.
