Sandblasting is also known as bead blasting and abrasive blasting, which is a generic term for the process of smoothing, shaping and cleaning a hard surface by forcing solid particles across that surface at high speeds. The effect is similar to that of using sandpaper and provides a more even finish with no inconsistencies at corners or crannies. Sandblasting is used for a variety of different tasks such as; paint stripping, brick cleaning, stone, cleaning, efflorescence removal, paint car removal and many, bitumen removal, boat cleaning, smog cleaning / pollutions residues, graffiti removal and many pore applications.
