Why do we blast?

  • to get good adhesion for paints/powder coats (Ra, Rz, Rt value)
  • for a beautiful finish (aesthetics)
  • deburring
  • cleaning/removing oxidation for, for example, a welding process (Sa value)
  • shot peening
  • peen moulding (= shaping using a blasting process)
  • desanding (foundry work)
