About Shotblasting:
Shotblasting is a works process where metal and in particular steel components are cleaned by way of undertaking a surface blasting using abrasive materials.
The process can use a wide range of blasting media ranging from crushed walnut shells through to (iron) steel particles, the latter being the most common used for cleaning rust, dirt, old paint, and existing coatings from steel components and structures.
Architectural, engineering, and structural steelwork nearly always specifies that steel "shot" is used for this process, with SA2.5 being the level of surface cleanliness specified as the UK industry standard.
Brightstar Shotblasting and Coatings (serving all areas of South Yorkshire, and in particular Rotherham and Sheffield) mainly carries this out by way of using G24 grade chilled iron blasting media. When carried out this usually results in a surface profile of 50 to 75 microns and is very effective at removing rust, dirt, and ingrained grime from most steel components.
Of course many other media grades and types are available, if you require a particular type or specification of blasting media - please ask us for a no obligation price quotation and information to suit.

- Gravity spray guns - used for low quantity jobs and small component coating spraying such as when needed for machinery parts and fixtures.
