Surface Preparation & Masking

 Abrasive Media Blasting

• Media blasting uses the forceful direction of compressed air and abrasive media against the surface of a metal substrate to remove old paint, rust, scale, and surface contaminants.
• This method of surface preparation addresses both cleanliness and surface profile, enhancing the bonding of any coating to be applied.
• ACP uses both aluminum oxide and glass bead media.

Iron Phosphate Rinse Room

• The high temperature, high pressure iron phosphate rinse both cleans and etches the substrate’s surface.
• This method of surface preparation promotes excellent bonding for applied coatings.

Sanding

• Hand and automated sanding applies a profile to the surface of the substrate.
• This method of surface preparation ensures proper adherence of paint or powder.
