Graffiti Removal and Paint Sculpting

Media blasting is a common procedure that employs pressurized air to blast out pieces of an abrasive material(s) using a nozzle. The force of these media blasts can remove rust, paint, or other unattractive blemishes on the target surface. Think of it as water cleaning with very small particles rather than (or instead of) water. This technique also allows a high degree of control over the speed of the media jet by as much as 40%.

Typically, media blasting occurs in a variety of circumstances where the surface to be cleaned is rough or abrasive in nature. For example, it may be used on plastic media furnishings such as shelves to remove scratches and stains, and on metal components like faucets to remove rust and corrosion buildup. When using this technique on a smooth surface, the use of a lower power of air pressure is typically required to achieve results. However, when the surface has rough textures, or a grainy texture, stronger jets with higher psi are required to remove the unattractive coating.

In order to properly use media blasting to clean steel surfaces, it is important to understand the process and its requirements. Steel materials tend to be much more tough and durable than other materials, but they are also highly reactive to certain chemicals and salts in the environment. For this reason, they need to be treated and cleaned in a way that removes any leftover residue from prior cleanings and provides protection against future contamination. This provides a good starting point for media blasting: a controlled removal of unwanted materials such as oil, grease, wax, dirt, decals, and even paint.

Before media blasting can begin, the first step is to depressurize the container used for storing compressed air. The purpose of this depressurization is to make sure no fumes escape the compressed air, which may prove problematic during the graffiti removal process. Once depressurization has been achieved, the container is then opened, and a hose with water is inserted. Using the water and the nozzle on the air compressor, media blasting can begin. The pressurized water and the blasting media will target the unwanted surface areas, and as the water and the air cool, they become soft and begin to pull the debris out of the pores.

The next step for media blasting is to use a substance such as aluminum oxide to strip off the surface coatings. Aluminum oxide has many advantageous qualities, including a naturally high tolerance to wear and tear, as well as a high resistance to corrosion and rusting. Although aluminum oxide has many positive qualities, including being extremely durable and powerful, it is only suitable for stripping off the bare metal surface. Other metal surfaces, such as copper, will only work if aluminum oxide is combined with another, more appropriate, metal-cleaning solution to increase the effectiveness of the stripping process.

Media blasting and paint stripping have distinct advantages over traditional graffiti removal and paint peeling techniques. The methods are simple to perform, and can be performed in a variety of ways, depending on your needs. They are cost-effective, time-efficient, and offer great results for all types of surface damage. When your company considers media blasting and paint stripping for its next project, you can rest assured that it will leave your property with a pristine clean surface, free of unsightly stains and marks.
