    Introduction

    What is sandblasting ?

    Sandblasting is an effective and versatile cleaning technique to eliminate dirt, rust, paint or anything left on the surface of different materials like metal, concrete, glass, wood, stone, etc. To proceed with this method, we send a high-pressure blast of sand or garnets on the surface to clean. The abrasive force removes the top layers of the surface, leaving it clean and ready to work with. Sandblasting is used in a number of industries like aeronautics, shipbuilding, building restoration, manufacturing of machines and heavy equipment, etc. More specifically at Desforges, we have a 12 x 12 x 24 pi sandblasting room that allows us to clean the surface of larger parts.

    There is a variety of abrasive material that can be used to sandblast: sand, garnets, sodium bicarbonate, recycled glass, etc. Each abrasive material has its own qualities and specific uses. For example, sand is mostly used to clean concrete or stone, whereas garnets are more effective to clean rust or paint from metal surfaces.
