Airstrip Ltd is the place to trust. Sandblasting is the operation of forcing a stream of abrasive material (in our case we generally use silica sand or walnut shell) against a surface under high pressure to smooth a rough surface, roughen a smooth surface, or remove surface irregularities. Walnut Shell Grit is the most versatile in surface treatment system due to its angular, durable shape yet is still considered a soft. Used as an economical, biodegradable alternative for sensitive blasting operations that requires aggressive stripping without affecting the metal. We use various kinds of blasting media tailored to suit your needs, from gentle walnut shell blasting to more aggressive garnet blasting. We only use high grade garnet in order to preserve the integrity of your surface. To produce a clean, bright, satin finish we employ glass bead blasting.
