Bead-blasting

Not as abrasive as sand blasting, we use this method on parts to remove paint, powder coating, ceramic coating, hard anodising, rust and corrosion. Although hydro-blasting will be able to remove the above coatings - it is not advised as your slurry will become contaminated with dirt, grease and paint particles.

These parts have been bead blasted to remove hard anodising and are now ready for hydro-blasting.

Most blasting is done with media that are jagged and leave a coarser/rougher surface finish. Bead blasting will leave a more uniform finish caused by the sphere dimpling the surface. This process is most often used when a smooth uniform finish is required and the part must have a dull, satin finish.
