Regardless of the abrasive media, the term “sandblasting” refers to the process of propelling that abrasive media with compressed air. This cleaning and preparation procedure takes compressed air as a power source and directs a high-pressure stream of abrasive media toward the given surface. That surface could be auto parts being cleaned of dirt, grease and oil. It could be rusty chains in a shipyard being reconditioned. Or the surface could be old filing cabinets being prepped for powder coating.
Low pressure fine abrasive cleaning (sandblasting) has been proven time and again as the ultimate solution for renovating brickwork and other exterior features; fired at a surface under pressure, the sand blasts away just a thin layer of brick or timber, removing decades or even centuries of dirt accumulation and moss and leaving near pristine fresh brickwork.
