Elite Blast: Revolutionising Surface Preparation with Wet Abrasive Blasting

Welcome to Elite Blast, the premier provider of wet abrasive blasting services, offering innovative and efficient solutions for both industrial and marine applications. Our advanced wet abrasive blasting technology combines the power of water and abrasive materials to deliver superior cleaning and surface preparation, ensuring optimal results for your projects.

What is Wet Abrasive Blasting?

Wet abrasive blasting, also known as vapor blasting or slurry blasting, is a process that uses a mixture of water and abrasive materials propelled at high velocities to clean and prepare surfaces. This method is highly effective in removing coatings, rust, and contaminants while minimizing dust and environmental impact. Elite Blast’s wet abrasive blasting services are ideal for a wide range of applications, from marine vessels to industrial machinery.

Benefits of Wet Abrasive Blasting

  1. Dust Suppression: The inclusion of water in the blasting process significantly reduces airborne dust, making it safer for operators and the environment.
  2. Efficient Cleaning: Wet abrasive blasting efficiently removes tough contaminants and coatings, providing a clean and smooth surface ready for painting or coating.
  3. Surface Protection: The water acts as a lubricant, reducing the heat and friction that can damage the substrate, resulting in a gentler yet effective cleaning process.
  4. Environmental Safety: Using eco-friendly abrasives and less dust production means fewer pollutants are released into the environment, aligning with green practices.

Applications of Wet Abrasive Blasting

Marine Industry:

  • Hull Cleaning: Removes marine growth, old paint, and corrosion from ship hulls, preparing them for anti-fouling coatings.
  • Deck and Superstructure Maintenance: Cleans and preps surfaces for new coatings, ensuring long-lasting protection against harsh marine conditions.

Industrial Sector:

  • Machinery and Equipment: Prepares industrial machinery and equipment surfaces by removing rust and old coatings, enhancing the adhesion of new protective layers.
