SHOT BLASTING
SETTING THE STANDARDS FOR THE INDUSTRY
SHOT BLASTING
Shot blasting enhances the microscopic surface profile of metal so that it holds a coating even more effectively as it increases zinc deposition.
A package of shot blasting and galvanization from Birtley Galvanizing will maximise the trust-free life of any piece being treated.
​
The cabinet blasters have capacity for shot blasting smaller articles.
​
Shotblasting will remove contaminants
prior to galvanizing and will increase the surface profile of the base metal to achieve a heavier galvanized coating,
thus increasing corrosion protection.
There are several national and international standards which define the visual assessment of surface cleanliness
of steel before the application of paint and related products.
The equivalence of the standards is summarised in the following table:
