PREPARING SURFACES

This treatment creates a series of microscopic peaks and valleys on the surface of a component. This finish, and the roughness achieved, contributes to improving the adhesion of a subsequent coating of the component.

For this reason, the artificial change caused by the blasting of the surface is referred to as the “anchor profile”. Each coating requires an anchor profile with specific characteristics.
In general, thinner coatings require a “soft” anchor profile, while for very thick coatings the profile generated by sandblasting is usually deeper to increase the adhesion.

This creates the requirement for a specific “controlled sandblasting” treatment that allows set objectives to be achieved and maintained over time.

Norblast solution

Our machines are designed and built to respond with maximum efficiency to the high quality levels required to successfully perform this special controlled sandblasting treatment.

The products dedicated to this specific treatment are equipped with control systems that can continuously monitor the underlying parameters for proper execution of the process, and to ensure its constancy and uniformity over time.
