Sandblasting
Even the highest quality coating will fail if it is applied to a poorly prepared surface. At Peratex, every coating begins with professional abrasive blasting to ensure maximum adhesion, durability and corrosion resistance.
What Is Sandblasting?
Sandblasting (also known as abrasive blasting) is a process that propels abrasive media at high speed using compressed air to clean and prepare a surface. It removes rust, paint, scale and contaminants while creating a microscopic profile that allows industrial coatings to bond correctly.

Why Surface Preparation Matters
Adhesion Is Everything
Coatings do not “stick” just because they are sprayed on. They bond mechanically to the surface profile created during blasting.
Abrasive blasting:
Removes rust, oxidation, and old coatings
Strips away grease and contamination
Creates a microscopic surface profile
That roughened profile gives the coating something to grip onto. Without it, coatings can peel, blister, or delaminate.
Prevents Early Failure
If corrosion, scale, or contamination is left behind, it continues reacting under the coating. That can lead to:
Rust creeping underneath
Bubbling
Flaking
Reduced lifespan
Ensure Food & Industrial Compliance
For food manufacturing equipment, surface cleanliness is critical. Contaminants or old degraded coatings can compromise hygiene standards.
Correct surface preparation:
Removes embedded residues
Creates a clean base for food-safe coatings
Helps maintain regulatory compliance
In industries where downtime costs thousands per hour, prevention matters.
Extends Component Life
When blasting is done correctly:
Parts require fewer refurbishments
Coatings last longer
Equipment performs more reliably
It is far more cost-effective to prepare properly once than to recoat repeatedly.
Different Material Require Different Preperation
Stainless steel, aluminium, and mild steel all respond differently to blasting media. Using the wrong abrasive or pressure can:
Damage soft metals
Leave contamination
Create incorrect surface profile
Professional surface prep means choosing the right media, pressure, and method for each component.
80% of coating failure is cause by poor surface preparation. We make sure that doesn’t happen
