Metal blasting -also known as sandblasting, is a process used to clean, smooth, or shape metal surfaces. It involves propelling abrasive materials at high speed against the metal, removing rust, paint, or other contaminants. This method helps prepare surfaces for painting, coating, or welding by creating a clean and textured finish.
First, the surface to be treated is cleaned to remove any dirt or contaminants.
Next, an abrasive material, like sand or glass beads, is propelled at high speed onto the surface using a sand blaster pressure.
This abrasive material helps remove old paint, rust, or other unwanted substances from the surface.
Finally, the cleaned surface is inspected to ensure it meets the desired level of cleanliness and texture before any further treatments or coatings are applied. It works best for:
This process is ideal for cleaning and prepping car chassis, wheels, and engine components for restoration or painting
Blasting efficiently removes rust, paint, and grime from heavy machinery and equipment, extending their lifespan
Blasting is effective in restoring and cleaning metal structures, such as bridges, fences, to their original condition.
With Dainsta, clients benefit from thorough cleaning of their metal components, ensuring optimal surface conditions for coatings or painting. This service is not only versatile and suitable for various materials but also cost-effective and time-saving, providing clients with high-quality results for their projects.
We utilise a sand blaster to achieve a clean and restored surface, effectively removing rust, old paint, and contaminants from metal and concrete surfaces. This abrasive blasting method ensures a strong foundation for further treatments and coatings.
Transform your components with bead blasting, which uses glass or ceramic beads to provide a smooth, satin finish without causing damage. This process is perfect for polishing surfaces, preparing them for assembly or additional coatings.
Enhance durability and surface texture with shot blasting, designed for heavy-duty cleaning and surface hardening. This method allows for improved adhesion of coatings, prolonging the life and performance of your components.
Experience gentle yet effective cleaning with a soda blaster, which utilizes sodium bicarbonate as blasting media to remove contaminants while preserving the integrity of sensitive surfaces, making it ideal for delicate components.
We utilise eco-friendly walnut blasting media to clean delicate surfaces without damage. This method effectively restores components to their original condition while minimizing environmental impact, ensuring sustainability in your processes.
Prepare surfaces for optimal coating adhesion with steel grit blasting, an aggressive abrasive blasting method that removes rust, scale, and old paint. This results in a textured finish that enhances the longevity and performance of your materials.
Protect delicate materials while achieving effective cleaning through plastic bead blasting. This method minimizes surface damage and prepares components for high-quality finishing, ensuring your products look their best.
Tackle tough coatings with aluminum oxide blasting, designed for demanding applications. This effective method ensures surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and ready for subsequent treatments, enhancing overall quality.

End Results You Can Expect
With our advanced media blasting techniques, you’ll receive surfaces that are:
Vapor blasting typically uses a combination of water and a fine abrasive media, such as aluminum oxide or glass beads. This mixture helps to provide a gentle yet effective cleaning process that minimizes dust and reduces the risk of surface damage, making it ideal for sensitive components.
Soda blasting uses sodium bicarbonate as the abrasive media, which is softer and less abrasive than traditional silica sand. This makes soda blasting more suitable for delicate surfaces, as it effectively removes contaminants without damaging the substrate.
Walnut blasting media, made from crushed walnut shells, is an eco-friendly option that provides effective cleaning without harming the underlying surface. It’s particularly beneficial for removing coatings from delicate components and is biodegradable, making it a sustainable choice.
While bead blasting is generally safe for many materials, it is important to assess the specific application and substrate. It is less abrasive compared to other methods, making it suitable for softer metals and plastics. However, harder materials may still require more aggressive blasting techniques. Always consult with a professional to determine the best approach for your project.
