Sand Blasting
We offer sandblasting services for your do-it-yourself projects, as well as in-house for powder coating preparation.
Sand is the most commonly used material. Other materials that can be used are steel grit, copper slag, walnut shells, powdered abrasives, even bits of coconut shell. Here at Al Muntaha Group. we use only SAND for sandblasting.
When painting, one doesn’t want to trap dust, dirt, or bubbles in a previous layer of paint, or other imperfections under the new layer. By launching small bits of abrasive at the surface at a high, medium or light speed, all imperfections are knocked loose and can then be easily washed off, creating an incredibly smooth surface upon which to lay the new layer of paint.
What is Sand Blasting?
Sandblasting is an abrasive blasting method that is used to smooth up metal surfaces. It is a surface finishing method that involves the use of a motorized equipment. Sandblasting is the process of applying high pressure to abrasive particles. It essentially sprays sand particles onto surfaces. This procedure produces a surface that is smooth and even in texture. The force and pressure with which the sand particles contact the metal surface allows this to happen. The sand’s rough texture is what wears away extra material from the metal’s surface. It’s essentially a larger, more modern type of sandpaper integrated into a high-pressure machine. Sandpaper is used to smooth out mirrors, and Sandblasters are used to smooth out metal surfaces.
