Sandblasting and painting is the process where the desired surface roughness is achieved using manual sandblasting, followed by the application of paint to metal surfaces to achieve the desired quality. In the sandblasting process, special abrasive material is sprayed onto the surface of the material at high pressure to remove oil, dirt, rust, and other contaminants that may cause the metal to rust and wear over time. The purpose of the painting process is to extend the service life of the metal.
Sandblasting reveals the true essence of the metal by removing rust and wear from the metal surface. Sandblasting and painting processes must occur consecutively. The freshly sandblasted metal is highly susceptible to rust and wear. If left in a moist environment after sandblasting, it is likely to be damaged. Therefore, after sandblasting, the metal should be stored properly, and the metal being painted should be isolated from the air.
During the process, there is a specific procedure to follow. After sandblasting, a primer coat is applied to the steel material, followed by the application of the final paint coat. The conditions under which the steel product will be used are crucial during these processes. Factors such as the conditions under which the steel material will be preserved and the thickness of the paint must be considered.
The main purpose of the sandblasting process is to thoroughly clean the metal to be painted and prepare the metal surface for the subsequent paint application, ensuring that the paint adheres smoothly to the metal surface. An analogy to understand the sandblasting process is that it achieves a similar result to sandpaper.
The application of sandblasting involves the high-pressure air-driven collision of sand particles with the metal surface, which simultaneously removes unwanted substances such as oil, dirt, and rust from the metal surface and prepares it for painting.
If sandblasting is to be performed outdoors, sandblasting pots should be prepared. Sandblasting pots can be used for tasks such as sandblasting ships or constructions in outdoor settings. Sandblasting cabinets are small, enclosed systems, making them highly suitable for companies facing space constraints in their work areas.
Sandblasting and painting are carried out with manual sandblasting to achieve the desired surface roughness and paint quality on metals. For detailed information, please contact us.
