Vapour Blasting
Vapour blasting, also known as wet blasting or liquid honing, is a surface preparation process that uses a combination of water and abrasive media to remove contaminants and prepare surfaces. It’s a more gentle and effective alternative to traditional sandblasting, as it produces less dust and is easier on delicate surfaces.
How it works:
- A mixture of water and abrasive media (like glass beads) is pumped through a hose and nozzle, using compressed air to propel it onto the surface being treated.
Benefits: - Less dust: The water acts as a coolant and helps to contain the abrasive media, reducing dust and making it a cleaner process.
- Gentler on surfaces: The water helps to cushion the impact of the abrasive, preventing damage to delicate or fragile materials.
- Versatile: Vapour blasting can be used to clean and restore a wide range of materials, including metal, plastic, and glass.
- Effective: It can effectively remove a variety of contaminants, including rust, paint, carbon deposits, and oxidation.
Applications: - Motor and bike restoration: Vapour blasting is frequently used to restore engines and components.
- Engineering and aerospace: It’s used for cleaning and prepping surfaces and removing contaminants in various engineering and aerospace applications.
- General cleaning and restoration: It can be used for various cleaning and restoration tasks in different industries.
