    What is Abrasive Blasting?

    Abrasive blasting is the process of propelling a stream of abrasive material at high velocity against a surface to remove contaminants, paint, rust, or other surface coatings. This method is commonly used in various industries, including shipbuilding, construction, and manufacturing, to prepare surfaces for further treatment or to produce a desired finish.
    Abrasive blasting can be performed using various abrasive materials, including sand, shot, soda, ice, Garnet, Aluminium Oxide, Silicon carbide and many other materials. Every application would have a specific material used to achieve required surface finish.

    Types of Blasting Methods:

    There are various methods of abrasive blasting, including sandblasting, bead blasting, and shot blasting. Each of these methods has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the type of blasting method used depends on the type of surface being cleaned and the desired outcome.

    • Sandblasting: Sandblasting is the most common form of abrasive blasting and involves using compressed air to force sand onto a surface. It is an effective method for removing rust, paint, and other substances from a surface, but it can also cause damage to the surface if not used properly.
    • Bead Blasting: Bead blasting involves using small beads made of glass, plastic, or other materials to clean surfaces. This method is gentler than sandblasting and is commonly used to clean delicate surfaces, such as jewellery or sensitive electronic components.
    • Shot Blasting: Shot blasting is a high-powered form of abrasive blasting that uses small steel shot pellets to clean surfaces. This method is typically used to clean large surfaces, such as steel structures, and is effective for removing rust and other tough substances.
    • Garnet Blasting: Garnet blasting is a type of abrasive blasting that uses garnet as the abrasive material. Garnet is a naturally occurring mineral that is known for its hardness and durability. This type of abrasive blasting is suitable for removing paint and rust from a variety of surfaces, including metal, wood, and concrete.
    • Baking Soda Blasting: Baking soda blasting is a type of abrasive blasting that uses baking soda as the abrasive material. Baking soda is a soft and gentle abrasive that is safe for use on delicate surfaces, such as fiberglass and aluminium. This type of abrasive blasting is suitable for removing paint, grime, and other unwanted materials from delicate surfaces
    • Aluminium Oxide Blasting: Aluminium oxide blasting is a type of abrasive blasting that uses aluminium oxide as the abrasive material. Aluminium oxide is a hard and durable abrasive that is suitable for removing paint and rust from a variety of surfaces, including metal, wood, and concrete.

    Why Inflatable Blasting Shelters?

    Inflatable blasting shelters, also known as blasting tents or blast enclosures, are structures used to contain abrasive blasting operations. These structures are becoming increasingly popular due to the numerous benefits they offer, including:

    • Containment of Dust and Debris: Inflatable blasting shelters effectively contain the dust and debris produced during the blasting process, preventing it from spreading and contaminating the surrounding area.
    • Increased Efficiency: Inflatable blasting shelters allow for abrasive blasting operations to be performed indoors, which can increase the efficiency of the process by reducing the need for frequent stops and clean-up.
    • Cost-Effective: Inflatable blasting shelters are a cost-effective alternative to traditional blasting methods, as they eliminate the need for building permanent structures to contain the blasting process.
    • Easy to Transport and Set Up: Inflatable blasting shelters are lightweight and easy to transport, making them ideal for use in remote locations or for projects that require frequent relocation.
