Shot Blasting
How it works:
Shot blasting is a process used to clean, strengthen, or polish metal surfaces. It involves forcibly propelling a stream of abrasive material, such as steel shots or grit, under high pressure against the metal surface. This helps to remove contaminants, rust, or old paint and prepares the surface for subsequent coating or painting, enhancing adhesion and longevity.
Shot blasting offers several advantages:
Surface Preparation: It effectively prepares surfaces for coatings or painting, enhancing adhesion and longevity.
Removal of Contaminants: It efficiently removes rust, old paint, and other surface contaminants.
Strengthens Metal: The process can help increase the hardness and strength of metal components.
Efficiency: It's a quick and efficient method of cleaning metal surfaces.
Environmentally Friendly: It's a dust-free and non-polluting method, making it environmentally friendly.
Inbetween Shot blasting and powdercoating we apply a zinc primer. This offers several benefits:
Corrosion Resistance: Zinc primer provides an extra layer of protection against rust and corrosion, especially for metal surfaces exposed to harsh weather conditions.
Adhesion: It improves the adhesion of the powder coating, ensuring a smoother finish and longer-lasting results.
Durability: The combination of zinc primer and powder coating enhances the durability of the final finish, protecting the surface from scratches and chipping.
Coverage: Zinc primer can help ensure even coverage, particularly in corners and recesses that might be difficult to reach with powder coating alone.
