RUST & SCALE
Evaluate rusted chassis, frames, attachments and industrial steel where substantial deposits need removal.
02 / ABRASIVE BLASTING
HEAVY RUST.
RIGHT PREP.
Abrasive blasting is often the practical choice for heavy corrosion, stubborn coatings and large steel surfaces—especially when the next step calls for a defined coating profile.

WHY ABRASIVE BLASTING
THE RIGHT TOOL
FOR THE HEAVY WORK.
Some steel needs more than selective cleaning. Blasting uses abrasive media and compressed air to remove corrosion, scale and failing coatings while establishing a surface texture appropriate to the job.
OLD FINISHES
Remove failing paint and compatible thick coatings with a method matched to substrate thickness and surrounding components.
ANCHOR PROFILE
Prepare properly selected steel for a coating system where specified cleanliness and surface roughness are required.
AFTER THE BLAST
PREPARE.
THEN PROTECT.
Blasting is only one stage of corrosion control. Surface cleanliness, soluble salts, environmental conditions and coating compatibility all influence the finished result. Explore protective coatings for suitable prepared steel.

METHOD SELECTION
BLAST IT.
OR ABLATE IT?
Abrasive blasting can win on speed and surface profile; pulsed laser cleaning may make sense for detailed, selective work or where introducing abrasive media is undesirable. Compare both approaches before deciding.
