Media blasting is a surface preparation and finishing technique that employs abrasive particles, known as media, propelled at high velocity to remove contaminants, coatings, or imperfections from a substrate. This versatile method is widely used across various industries for cleaning, stripping, and achieving specific surface textures on materials such as metals, plastics, and composites.
In media blasting, the abrasive media can vary widely, including materials like sand, glass beads, aluminum oxide, or plastic pellets, depending on the desired result and the material being treated. The process typically involves using a blasting machine to propel the media onto the surface through compressed air or centrifugal force.
