Sandblasting
Shot blasting is a mechanical surface preparation process used to remove rust, oxide layers, old coating residues, welding slag, and other surface contaminants from metal components. Abrasive media propelled at high speed by compressed air cleans and roughens the surface, creating an ideal profile for subsequent coating applications.
As one of the most critical stages of surface preparation, shot blasting significantly improves the adhesion of paint, metal coatings, and other protective finishes, thereby extending the service life of coated components. At Çinkosan, we utilize a tumble shot blasting process to deliver high-quality and consistent surface preparation.
