Comparing Soda, Bead, and Garnet Blasting with Vapour Blasting
Surface preparation removes unwanted materials such as rust, paint, or grease from a surface. Different methods suit different projects. This article compares soda, bead, and garnet blasting with vapour blasting.
Safety First
Sandblasting, also known as abrasive blasting, is an effective way to remove paint, rust, or other surface contaminants. While it delivers strong results, the process involves high pressures and airborne particles. Safety is important. At AA Sandblasting, founded in 1977 in Fyshwick, we use strict protocols and suitable protective gear. This article explains the personal protective equipment (PPE) and safety measures that keep our team safe, followed by a case study on transforming industrial equipment with garnet blasting.
Environmental Benefits of Eco-Friendly Sandblasting Practices
Modern sandblasting methods have advanced to minimise waste and reduce hazards to workers and the environment. Traditional approaches, including chemical stripping, often require harsh solvents that can harm the ecosystem if not managed properly. This article outlines how eco-friendly sandblasting compares to chemical stripping and highlights its key advantages in lowering your environmental impact.
