It involves the forceful propulsion of a stream of abrasive material against a surface under high pressure. The primary purpose of this process is to prepare surfaces for subsequent coating operations. At DCS, we utilise this technique to ensure optimal preparation and finishing of surfaces, enhancing the longevity and appearance of the final product. ## We Manage Adhesion Control Through Abrasive Blasting ![DSC06129-AbrasiveBlasting03](https://defencecoatingsystems.com/hs-fs/hubfs/DSC06129-AbrasiveBlasting03.jpg?width=1799&height=1200&name=DSC06129-AbrasiveBlasting03.jpg) ## Why We Blast First Blasting first is a critical step in our process. This procedure ensures the removal of any existing coatings, rust, scale, and other potential contaminants, leaving behind a clean, etched surface. The result is a significantly improved adhesion of coatings, thereby enhancing the durability and resistance of the product against various environmental factors. ## We Can Blast Items That Are Up To Six Metres In Length ![AdobeStock_293269358_Preview2](https://defencecoatingsystems.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AdobeStock_293269358_Preview2.jpg?width=2098&height=1400&name=AdobeStock_293269358_Preview2.jpg) ## Large Scale Blasting At Defence Coating Systems, we pride ourselves on our ability to manage and execute large-scale blasting projects. Our capability includes an abrasive blasting facility that can accommodate projects up to six metres in length. This allows us to blast a diverse range of items, from hefty machinery to large, intricately designed steel products. ## We are equipped to blast high-volume, smaller products on a large scale. ![AdobeStock_326287623_Preview2-1](https://defencecoatingsystems.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AdobeStock_326287623_Preview2-1.jpg?width=1890&height=1400&name=AdobeStock_326287623_Preview2-1.jpg) ## High Volume Blasting Alongside our large-scale capabilities, we also specialise in high-volume blasting. Our state-of-the-art tumble blaster allows us to process a high volume of small parts efficiently. This capability ensures that we can meet the demands of our clients promptly without compromising on the quality of our work. ## We cater for heavy rust removal to delicate paint stripping. ![DSC06129-AbrasiveBlasting02](https://defencecoatingsystems.com/hs-fs/hubfs/DSC06129-AbrasiveBlasting02.jpg?width=1650&height=1400&name=DSC06129-AbrasiveBlasting02.jpg) ## Abrasive Media At Defence Coating Systems, we recognise the vital role that the choice of abrasive media plays in obtaining the desired surface finish.
