Abrasive media
blasting is an excellent way to remove old
paint, rust and to increase paint/powder
adhesion. Doing it properly means to protect
areas that shouldn’t be blasted, for
instance bearing surfaces and machined
surfaces. Tri-State Fabricators also make
sure that all the parts are clean prior to
blasting. The reason is that blasting
re-circulates the blast media and often
materials from previous operations are mixed
in the media. Parts that have residual oil
on them will only push that oil down into
the pores to come out later when baking,
potentially ruining the job, or resulting in
premature adhesion loss or corrosion. Glass
beads are manufactured from lead-free, soda
lime-type glass, containing no free silica
that is made into preformed ball shapes.
Glass beads produce a much smoother and
brighter finish than angular abrasives.

Glass beads
produce a clean, bright, satin finish,
without dimensional change of the parts.
Glass beads
can be recycled approximately 30 times.
Chemically inert and environmentally
friendly, glass beads are an acceptable
method of metal cleaning or surface
finishing when properly controlled.
