Q. What is sandblasting? (this word is used a lot on this site only because people relate to it. There really isn't much sandblasting done anymore with all the materials avaliable for blast cleaning(that are safer for the evironment and personnel) sand isn't that popular any longer.)
A. Sandblasting is the process of removing dirt, rust, paint, mill scale and other unwanted materials from steel, brick and other substrates. The process requires compressed air and a pressurized vessel, (blast pot) to propel the blast media. Blast media can be a variety of different materials including steel grit, aluminum oxide, plastic media or other medias depending on the application and the results desired.
