Understanding Surface Profiles
Sandblasting goes beyond simply removing rust, paint, or contaminants. It also shapes the microscopic texture on a surface. This texture, often called the surface profile, matters for coating adhesion. A paint or protective layer bonds more reliably when it has the right peaks and valleys to grip. This section explains how sandblasting creates diverse profiles and why these profiles influence coating performance. It also covers equipment innovations that boost efficiency and safety. AA Sandblasting applies these insights and modern technologies to serve a range of customers.
Caring for Sandblasted Surfaces
Sandblasting clears away rust, old paint, and other contaminants from a surface. It creates a clean and sometimes textured base that is ideal for new paint or protective coatings. However, the process is only half of the work. Proper aftercare and maintenance help preserve the fresh surface, preventing premature wear or corrosion. At AA Sandblasting, founded in 1977 in Fyshwick, we have seen how a few simple steps can ensure that blasted surfaces keep their finish for much longer. This section provides guidance on how to look after your sandblasted surfaces.
Preparing Surfaces for Painting
Paint does more than add colour. It shields surfaces against rust, weather, and daily wear. However, a fresh coat only performs well if the underlying surface is ready. Sandblasting, also referred to as abrasive blasting, creates a clean, textured surface that promotes better adhesion of primers and paints. AA Sandblasting, founded in 1977 in Fyshwick, has decades of experience preparing metal, concrete, timber, and other materials for painting. This section explains why thorough surface preparation is vital for a durable paint job and how sandblasting can help you achieve professional results.
