Media blasting is used to clean substrates of foreign debris and mill scale. While blasting can create a decorative profile on many different substrates including glass, plastics, stone etc. It is widely used on steel and other metals to promote an optimal mechanical bond between powder coatings or other liquid type coatings and the substrate.
Multiple types of media options are used for specific metals and different profiles. (Garnett, Glass beads, Crushed glass, Steel shot and grit, etc.) Our blasters will propel most common medias.
Cabinet blasting is utilized for prepping small and easily lost parts as well as decorative detailing, such as glass and plastic etching.
Our large 1200 sq ft blast room allows us to prep very large projects as well as effectively prep production line parts while letting us reclaim our media.
High volume pressurized style blast pots allow us to prep quickly and efficiently.
Powder Application
We use one of the most advanced electrostatic powder spraying guns available on the market. Gema OptiFlex 2. This gun has automatic digital adjustments with optional faraday and recoat modes, 5lb to 50lb up to 100 lb. box shaker table that allows for quick color changes while still fluidizing powder for appropriate particle distribution. When necessary our Gema hopper addition provides full fluidization for optimum powder transfer rates and application efficiency on large scale jobs.
We stock multiple powder colors from multiple suppliers Powdura by Sherwin Williams, Cardinal, TCI, Axalta and Other suppliers depending on requirements of customers
Epoxy based primers with and without zinc will add anti corrosive characteristics to the substrate when applied directly to a substrate prior to a powder or liquid coating.
