Dustless sandblasting (also known as wet sandblasting) is a relatively new cleaning method that has become one of our industry’s most popular cleaning methods. Dustless Sandblasting, like traditional sandblasting, is used in surface treatment, preparation, and cleaning.
Broadly speaking, there is only one significant distinction between dustless sandblasting and traditional sandblasting: Dustless sandblasting includes the addition of water (and sometimes a rust inhibitor) in the blast media. It is this simple distinction that is the basis for wet sandblasting its main selling point—dustless-ness.
The wet delivery of abrasive on a substrate substantially reduces the dust created by up to the 97%, unlike traditional sandblasting and soda blasting, where huge dust clouds are formed. There are many reasons why an almost dust-free work area is a desirable outcome:
- Dust inhaled during sandblasting processes is linked with life-threatening illnesses such as lung cancer, silicosis, kidney disease, and so on. Wet abrasive delivery methods, e.g., dustless sandblasting, are therefore recommended as a means of protecting workers and anyone who could be near the workpiece.
- Dust reduction/suppression leads to an increase in visibility for the operators. Increased visibility, in turn, reduces the probability of accidents or damages to the workpiece.
- With significant dust reduction, others may be able to work close by during the blasting operations.
- Dustless Sandblasting creates less mess and is easy for containment, which allows you to save up on cleanup and containment costs.
How it Works?
- The abrasive is coated with water.
- The water-coated abrasive is propelled on the workpiece at high pressure, thereby attacking the substrate.
- Water suppresses the coating/ contaminant, preventing it from becoming airborne.
- The coating is removed be delivered abrasive.
There are almost no limitations to which blast abrasive media can be used in dustless blasting. One may use glass, soda garnet, organics slag, or many other blast medium depending on the project’s needs.
Wondering if the addition of water to blast media makes dustless sandblasting a softie, compared with other sandblasting techniques?
