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, or other unwanted materials from various surfaces, including metal, wood, and concrete. Common types of media used include sand, glass beads, and walnut shells. The method is often employed in industries such as automotive, construction, and manufacturing to restore or finish surfaces. Media blasting can improve adhesion for coatings and paints, ensuring a smoother and more durable finish. Safety precautions are essential, as the process can generate dust and debris.
