What is Vapor Blasting?

Vapor blasting is a surface cleaning and refinishing process that restores surfaces and efficiently removes contaminants. It is also known as wet blasting, vapor honing, liquid honing, or dustless blasting. The vapor blasting process includes utilizing pressurized water and abrasive blast media to finish a surface.

It is also sometimes called slurry blasting, because the mix of blast media and water together is called a slurry. Slurry blasting involves the process of the abrasive media and water being pressurized together in a pressure pot. This is then shot through a blast nozzle and mixed with compressed air.

What are the Advantages of Wet Blasting Services?

As a whole, wet blasting services promote longer media life and create a “softer” and smoother finish. Wet blasting can handle many surfaces, however, it is especially effective for aluminum, brass, magnesium, and zinc surfaces. Here are some other benefits of wet blasting services to consider:

• • It is a dust-free process

• • Instead of cleaning by impact, it cleans with water

• • It both degreases and blasts at the same time

• • The water acts as a lubricant or a barrier between the media and the component

• • During the blasting process, no media is infused into the material

• • Leaves an appealing satin finish on many surfaces, such as aluminum, brass, and stainless steel
