Step 1 – Degreasing the Surface

Before embarking on the media blasting process, the first crucial step is to degrease the surface. Most products contain oils and grease on their surfaces, which can hinder the effectiveness of media blasting and the subsequent powder coating. By thoroughly washing and cleaning the item, we remove these oils and greases, ensuring that the media blasting process can be carried out with optimal efficiency and effectiveness.

Step 2 – Blasting the Surface

Media blasting involves utilizing a high-pressure blast pot to eliminate all residues and contaminants from the surface of the item. This abrasive process prepares the surface by creating an ideal environment for proper adhesion during subsequent finishing applications, such as powder coating. It effectively removes rust, paint, scale, and other imperfections, leaving a clean and pristine surface.

Step 3 – Outgassing

The final step in our media blasting process is outgassing. This crucial step involves heating the parts to eliminate any remaining contaminants. When the item is heated to a higher temperature, any gases or volatile compounds are released before the powder coating process. Failure to outgas the item properly can result in the formation of bubbles or defects in the final powder coating finish. Our meticulous approach ensures that the surface is thoroughly prepared, and the subsequent coating application is flawless.
