Abrasive Blasting

What is abrasive blasting?

Abrasive blasting, sandblasting, bead blasting, and shot blasting—are they all the same?

The quick response is… yes! Since sand was the most popular blasting material for decades, everyone used the term “sandblasting.” However, today, with advancements in blasting technologies and increased awareness of health risks, silica sand is not recommended.

The simple idea to explain abrasive blasting is that it is when a combination of high-pressure compressed air and a fine or crushed abrasive material is forced out of a powered nozzle. The forceful contact of the abrasive particles effectively removes rust, paint, dirt, and other types of corrosion. There are many abrasive material options that are suitable based on certain requirements, constraints, and the type of substrate.

We recently hired Omega to fix a botched concrete painting project that had been completed by a previous contractor. We had originally hired the previous contractor, but it quickly became clear that we had made a mistake. The paint film was uneven, there were unpatched holes and roller marks everywhere, the entire floor was a mess. We were beyond frustrated, and felt like we had wasted our time and money and couldn’t get a call back from the contractor. That’s when we contacted Omega Industries. From the moment we spoke with them, we knew that we were in good hands. They were professional, responsive, and willing to work with us to rectify the situation. Josue and the team came to our property and assessed the situation, and they were able to provide us with a clear plan of action to fix the issues.

Throughout the entire process, Josue and the team were communicative, respectful of our property, and dedicated to fixing the problem. They took great care to prepare the surface properly, ensuring that the new paint would adhere correctly. They worked quickly and efficiently, and the end result was truly incredible.

We couldn’t be happier with the work that Omega Industries did for us. They were able to turn a disastrous situation around and deliver a finished product that exceeded our expectations. We appreciate their attention to detail, professionalism, and willingness to go above and beyond to rectify the issue. We would highly recommend Omega to anyone in need of commercial epoxy services, and we will certainly be using them again in the future.
