SANDBLASTING

Steel constructions are one of the basic elements of construction. Their main advantage is their high strength and resistance to damage. Unfortunately, due to their properties, they are susceptible to corrosion caused by changing weather conditions. We deal with this kind of problem on a daily basis at Elplast. The sandblasting services we provide help to protect steel structures from permanent damage.

WHAT IS SANDBLASTING OF STEEL STRUCTURES?

The sandblasting of steel structures is a process of cleaning a metallic surface by impacting the abrasive particles with compressed air or dust. The effect of this treatment can be compared to grinding. The significant difference between them is that the sanded surface is more even and slightly rough. Thanks to this, you can start the painting process almost immediately.

It is very important to protect the cleaned steel surface from the harmful effects of atmospheric conditions as soon as possible after sandblasting. Properly made sandblasting creates an ideal primer to protect surfaces with paints.

WHAT IS A SAND BLASTING STRUCTURE TREATMENT LIKE?

Sandblasting is a technologically advanced process. In simple terms, it can be described as hitting the surface with abrasive particles under pressure. Depending on the material being cleaned, crushed glass, metal, dry ice, shot, slag, copper shackle and, even in some cases, coconut shells can be used in the sandblasting process. The choice is connected with the result we want to achieve.

In the construction industry, the sandblasting process is very popular. It allows for much easier removal of dirt from even the most difficult places. Thanks to it, it is possible to clean steel structures in a short time and then coat them with anticorrosive paint and, at the same time, protect against the harmful effects of external factors.

EMPLOYEES DURING THE SANDBLASTING PROCESS

Unfortunately, this process can also be hazardous to the health of people doing it. That is why it is unacceptable to use dry sand as an abrasive.

Health and safety strictly regulates the principles related to the sandblasting process. Legal provisions specify the requirement for the appropriate protective clothing that ensures ventilation and the supply of fresh air.

Our company is aware of these threats. We comply with all strict health and safety regulations and take care of the health and safety of our employees so that both employees and our clients are fully satisfied.
