involves spraying of a surface with small
abrasive articles. While the operation is similar
to sanding, it is different in that the
interaction with the surface occurs at a very
high speed.

• Preparation of surfaces before painting or
  coating it.
• Removal of sand, paint and rust from fabricated
  surfaces.

Perfect Results You are assured of getting the
ideal outcomes after sandblasting. Safety In a
time when environmentalists are advocating
for elimination of pollution, sandblasting is a
perfect solution. It is non-toxic because sand is
used as opposed to materials that produce dust.
BENEFITS OF SANDBLASTING
Simplicity Whereas professionals are required to
handle the task, it is not strenuous. All that
they need to do is to lay a tarp underneath the
surface, and remove the extra material using
their equipment. Versatility Sandblasting can
be used for a range of purposes. It can be used
to remove pain, stripping pavements, polishing
surfaces, removal of dirt. Still, it can be used
in both the delicate and strong surfaces.

EFFECTIVENESS OF SANDBLASTING IN REMOVING PAINT
It is difficult to remove paint in any surface.
This is particularly true when you are dealing
with surfaces that were painted a long time ago
or that have more than two coats of paints.
Regardless of how long you leave the chemical
stripper, there is a chance that some of the
paint will not come off. In any case, there are
many restrictions on the use of the most
effective strippers. Accordingly, achieving
perfect results after repainting a surface is
difficult. It is under such circumstances that
you should start to ask the question on what is a
sandblaster.
