Surface Preparation & Abrasive Blasting
United Painting self-performs abrasive blasting to remove existing coatings, rust and corrosion, and other surface contaminants before a new coating system is applied. Media blasting and other preparation methods are also available, matched to the substrate and the system being applied.
Method
Abrasive and media blasting
Blasting is used where existing coatings, corrosion or contaminants have to come off before a new coating system goes on. Abrasive blasting is performed by United Painting's own crews. Media blasting is available where the project calls for it.
- Abrasive blasting (self-performed)
- Media blasting
