Media blasting is a surface preparation technique that uses high-pressure air to propel abrasive materials, known as media, against a surface. This process effectively removes contaminants, old paint, rust, and other unwanted materials from various surfaces, including metal, wood, and concrete. Common types of media used include sand, glass beads, and aluminum oxide. The technique is widely used in industries such as automotive, construction, and manufacturing to restore and clean surfaces before painting or finishing. Media blasting can also enhance surface texture, improving adhesion for coatings. Safety measures, including protective gear and proper ventilation, are essential during the process.
