Vapour Blasting Services
At EPC Coatings, we offer professional vapour blasting services, an advanced method of surface preparation and cleaning that combines water, abrasive media, and compressed air. This process, also known as wet blasting or vapour honing, is ideal for achieving a high-quality finish on various materials, including metal, plastic, and more.
How Vapour Blasting Works
Vapour blasting involves mixing water with abrasive particles to form a slurry. This slurry is then propelled at high pressure onto the surface being treated. The water in the mixture helps to cushion the impact of the abrasive particles, reducing the risk of damage to the substrate and providing a more uniform finish. This technique is especially effective for delicate surfaces and intricate parts, as it minimizes the risk of warping or damage compared to traditional dry blasting methods.
Benefits of Vapour Blasting
-
Dust Suppression: The addition of water in the vapour blasting process significantly reduces the amount of dust produced, making it a safer option for both the operator and the environment. This is particularly beneficial in settings where dust control is crucial, such as in residential areas or near sensitive equipment
-
Surface Cleaning and Preparation: Vapour blasting not only removes coatings, rust, and other contaminants but also cleans the surface simultaneously. This dual-action process saves time and prepares the surface for subsequent treatments like painting or coating
-
Gentle and Even Finish: The water cushion helps to evenly distribute the abrasive impact, preventing localized erosion and resulting in a smooth, uniform finish. This makes vapour blasting ideal for finishing surfaces that require a high degree of precision and care
-
Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications, including automotive restoration, aerospace component cleaning, and industrial equipment maintenance, vapour blasting can handle a variety of materials and surface conditions. It is particularly useful for cleaning engine parts, delicate aluminum surfaces, and removing old coatings
At EPC Coatings, our state-of-the-art vapour blasting equipment and experienced technicians ensure that every job is completed to the highest standard. Whether you need to restore a classic vehicle, prepare industrial machinery for coating, or clean delicate components, our vapour blasting services offer a superior solution for all your surface preparation needs.
