Blasting

Here at Abbey Protective Coatings we can offer Blast cleaning services using Medias such as Australian garnet, copper slag, aluminium oxide, recycled glass & glass bead, to standards SA 1- SA 3.

Blasting is used to remove build up of paint & corrosion from many surfaces on old steelwork, it is also used to achieve a profile to on new or old steel to enable coatings to adhere, thus inceasing life expectancy and make the item cosmetically pleasing.

We can work to blasting standards , SA 1, 2.5 & SA 3 depending on the specification; we can also carry out a brush off (flash) blast to SA 1 to remove light rusting.
