Sand Blasting

Professional Dry Ice Blasting Services in New Zealand

Sand blasting, a massive surface cleaning and surface preparation technique, applies to areas that demand an aggressive impact. EcoBlast also provides sand blasting as an industrial service in appropriate cases where the conditions of the site, the type of surfaces, and the environmental regulations permit using it.

This is a frequently chosen approach to the hard surfaces to be covered, and then they were coated or rusted off or surface profiled before more work was done.

What Is Sand Blasting?

Sand blasting is the cleaning process that involves the propulsion against a surface using pressurized media in order to remove rust, paint, scale, and other contaminants. The procedure results in a clean, rough surface, which is perfect for repair, coating, or repainting.

EcoBlast does sand blasting in a responsible and controlled fashion, balancing the pressure and kind of media to the surface and use.

Where Sand Blasting Is Used

Sand blasting can be applied in the following applications:

  • Rust removal from metal surfaces
  • Paint, coating, and corrosion removal
  • Concrete and masonry cleaning
  • Structural steel and metal fabrication
  • Surface preparation before painting or coating
  • Fire damage restoration on hard surfaces

Benefits of Sand Blasting

  • Effective for heavy contamination and corrosion
  • Prepares surfaces for coatings and repairs
  • Suitable for hard and durable substrates
  • Delivers uniform surface texture

Sand blasting is used when non-abrasive techniques are ineffective in the severity of contamination on the machine.

When Sand Blasting Is the Right Choice

Sand blasting is recommended when:

  • The surface is hard and abrasion‑resistant.
  • Heavy rust, paint, or scale must be removed.
  • Surface profiling is required for coatings.

EcoBlast will review every location and ensure that sand blasting is suitable and allowed.
