Short profile:
Blast care Ltd are one of the market leaders in shot
blasting, grit blasting, wet blasting, dust free blasting and
non abrasive blasting systems. The process of blasting
consists of bombarding the surface of a material with one of
many types of sand, grit, shot or bead. Normally this is done
to remove paint, rust or scale, but sometimes it is carried out
to impart a particular surface, or uniform finish, to the object
being blasted, or even to etch letters or shapes into the
substrate. Please click here for a more detailed explanation
of the sandblasting process. As part of the service we offer
Blast Care Ltd can also coat the surface dependant on your
requirements.
Hiring the right blast cleaning contractor can make all the
difference in a construction or refurbishment project. Our
years of experience in the commercial and domestic arena, combined with a flexible and cost-effective approach, means
that any job, be it large or small, is carried out.
Detailed description:
We are sandblasting, grit blasting and shot blasting specialists, and
can travel to any location within the UK.
A typical blasting rig consists of a high powered air-compressor
connected to a blasting pot (where the sand or grit is introduced)
connected via a length of blast hose to the blast nozzle.
The abrasive material used can be calcium silicate (sand), calcium
carbonate, granules of iron silicate (chilled iron), silicon carbide, glass grit produced from recycled bottle bank glass, aluminium
oxide, garnet and even walnut shells! Abrasive materials are
available in many different sizes, from dust to 3.5mm.
Items which can be cleaned by our company vary from wood, soft
stone, brick and masonry, through to aluminium, iron and steel. It is
"simply" a case of determining the correct material and pressure to
accomplish the task. By utilizing a low pressure compressed air
supply and the introduction of fine mineral based media's we
therefore eliminate harmful VOC emissions and the potential of
creating an explosive atmosphere for instance, wood or soft stone
would be cleaned at very low pressure using the finest grade of
sand available, whereas iron or steel can be cleaned at full
pressure using 2.5mm chilled iron, if necessary. It is advisable to
apply a first coat of primer to freshly blasted metal to prevent the
onset of corrosion, and this can be carried out by our sister
company Tank Care as part of the service. We offer a safe
alternative to solvents and caustic solutions.
