Sandblasting New Zealand

What is Sandblasting?

Sandblasting is a process where a high-velocity stream of abrasive material—such as sand, grit, or garnet—is propelled against a surface using compressed air or water. 

This method is used to:

• Remove rust, old paint, scale, and contaminants
• Prepare surfaces for painting, coating, or sealing
• Roughen surfaces to improve adhesion for finishes
• Restore and clean materials like metal, concrete, wood, stone, and plastic

In New Zealand, sandblasting is commonly used for metal preparation, but it is also ideal for cleaning and restoring a wide range of surfaces.

How Sandblasting Works

A sandblasting machine forces abrasive material through a nozzle using compressed air or water. The force of the blast removes unwanted debris, leaving the surface clean and ready for finishing. The type of abrasive material and pressure level depend on the surface being treated and the desired result.

Popular Abrasive Materials Used:

• Garnet – A preferred choice due to its effectiveness and low dust production
• Glass Beads – Ideal for delicate surfaces requiring a smoother finish
• Aluminum Oxide – Suitable for tough cleaning jobs
