Sandblasting and Painting

Sandblasting and Painting

What is Sandblasting?

Sandblasting is a surface treatment method used to clean, roughen, and prepare metal surfaces prior to painting or coating.
It involves propelling abrasive materials—such as sand, steel grit, or other media—at high speed onto the metal surface to remove contaminants
and create a textured finish.

Advantages of Sandblasting:

  • Removes rust, oxidation, and old paint residues
  • Roughens the metal surface to enhance paint or coating adhesion
  • Extends the lifespan of the metal and improves corrosion resistance

What is a Shop Primer?

A shop primer is a thin protective coating applied to the metal surface immediately after sandblasting. Its primary purpose is to protect the metal from corrosion during storage, transportation, or pre-assembly. Shop primers are typically weldable and do not need to be removed before final coating or painting.

Advantages of Shop Primer:

  • Provides short-term corrosion protection
  • Saves time during the production process
  • Available in heat-resistant formulations suitable for welding applications
These surface preparation methods are widely used in industries such as construction, shipbuilding, automotive manufacturing, and steel fabrication,where durability and corrosion resistance are critical.

What is Metal Painting?

Metal painting is a surface finishing process applied to metal components to enhance their appearance and provide protection against corrosion, wear, chemicals, and environmental conditions. The method and type of paint used can vary depending on the application and desired performance.

Objectives of Metal Painting:

  • To provide corrosion resistance
  • To improve aesthetic appearance
  • To protect against chemical and physical damage
  • To extend the lifespan of the metal

Common Metal Painting Methods:

  • Powder Coating: An electrostatic process that applies dry powder paint, offering a durable and eco-friendly finish.
  • Wet Painting: Traditional spray painting using liquid paint; ideal for detailed work and custom color applications.
  • Bake Painting (Curing): The painted surface is heat-treated in an oven to increase adhesion and durability.
  • Shop Primer: A temporary protective primer applied after sandblasting to prevent rust during storage and assembly.

What is Sandblasting?

Sandblasting is a mechanical process that involves the high-pressure projection of abrasive materials—such as steel grit or aluminum oxide—onto metal surfaces. This removes rust, old paint, oxidation, and other surface impurities, preparing the material for optimal coating adhesion.

Benefits of Sandblasting:

  • Removes rust, mill scale, and paint residues

  • Increases surface roughness for better paint bonding

  • Enhances corrosion resistance and extends product life

  • Environmentally safe when performed with proper containment


What is Industrial Metal Painting?

After sandblasting, metal components are painted using protective coating systems, such as:

  • Shop primers (temporary anti-corrosion coating)

  • Industrial liquid paint (single or multi-layer systems)

  • Electrostatic powder coating (for aesthetic and durable finishes)

Our painting processes are compliant with industry standards and can be customized for indoor or outdoor applications, depending on durability and performance requirements.
