Surface preparation for coating, repair and first-stage treatment work.
Surface preparation removes compromised coatings, rust, oil, grease and other contaminants so new coatings can adhere correctly and last.
- Hydro-blasting up to 40,000 psi
- Wet blasting with abrasive media
- Dry blasting with abrasive media in air
- Accustrip spark-free blasting
- Mechanical preparation including needle gun and abrasive discs
Coating life is heavily dependent on how well the substrate has been prepared.
If the existing coating, contamination and surface defects are not removed correctly, the new coating system will not achieve the intended durability or lifespan.
Prepared to the required standard
Advanced inspection and preparation techniques help ensure work is carried out to specification first time with no defects.
Clean substrate and better adhesion
The objective is not only to clean the area but to create the right conditions for the new coating to bond effectively.
Removal of compromised coatings
Preparation can strip away failing or deteriorated coating systems before re-treatment.
Contaminant removal
Rust, oil, grease and embedded debris need to be removed before follow-on work begins.
Spark-free option
Accustrip uses biodegradable media to produce a guaranteed spark-free cleaning effect.
Method choice around the substrate
Hydro, abrasive and mechanical techniques can be selected to suit the surface, environment and specification.
