Vapour Blasting

vapour blasting

Vapor blasting is also commonly known as wet blasting, liquid honing, vapor honing, dustless blasting, or slurry blasting. Interior of Wet Blast Cabinet Wet blasting (vapor blasting) is a process for removing contaminants from a surface, or finishing a surface using pressurized water and abrasive blast media. If the abrasive media is mixed with water and pressurized in a pressure pot before being propelled through a blast nozzle and mixed with compressed air. This process is generally known as slurry blasting. (The mix of blast media and water is called a slurry). The biggest advantage of wet blasting is it produces a finer finish on a surface than traditional dry blasting. The water flushes out the abrasive, so there is no impregnation of the blasted surface. Any sediment or residual abrasive media is washed out. This leaves a cleaner surface. Vapor blasting is preferred when you have a surface that you would like to preserve. By using a slurry blaster or vapor blasting cabinet, you can clean, de-grease, and blast a surface in one step. This save considerable time over traditional dry abrasive blasting.
