How does abrasive blasting prepare surfaces for coatings?

Abrasive blasting removes rust, old coatings, scale, and contaminants from a surface, leaving behind a clean, profiled finish ready for coating. It creates a consistent texture, often referred to as a surface profile or anchor pattern, which helps coatings bond effectively. Without this preparation, coatings may fail to adhere properly, leading to early deterioration. The blasting process also exposes defects such as pitting or cracks, allowing them to be addressed before coating. By improving surface cleanliness and adhesion, abrasive blasting helps extend the life of coatings and the substrates they protect, especially in harsh or high-traffic environments.
Why is surface profile important in coating applications?

The surface profile, or texture left after blasting, is critical to coating adhesion. It allows the coating to mechanically grip the surface, preventing issues like peeling, flaking, or blistering. Different coatings require specific profiles, usually measured in microns, to ensure they bond correctly and perform as intended. If the profile is too smooth, the coating may not adhere well. If it's too rough, it may trap air or increase coating consumption. Matching the correct profile to the chosen coating is essential for long-term protection, especially in industries where corrosion or wear is a concern.
Can abrasive blasting be used before applying fire-resistant coatings?

Yes, abrasive blasting is commonly used to prepare surfaces before applying fire-resistant or intumescent coatings. These coatings must adhere tightly to the substrate to provide effective thermal insulation during a fire. Blasting removes contaminants and roughens the surface to improve mechanical bonding. A properly blasted surface ensures that the fire-rated coating expands uniformly in high heat, protecting the structural integrity of steel or other materials. Without surface preparation, fire-resistant coatings may fail prematurely or separate from the substrate, reducing their effectiveness and potentially risking non-compliance with fire safety standards.
