Blasting Services
At Interstate Powder Coatings, we are proud to offer professional blasting services to meet all your preparation needs. Whether for new parts or restoring older ones, we have several automatic tables, and two large booths equipped to handle large items and bulk capacities.
What are the benefits of Blasting?
-
Industries: A wide range of industries that work with metal products benefit from powder coating and blasting. Industries such as automotive, architecture, manufacturing, construction, agriculture, and home goods rely on powder coating to protect metal surfaces from corrosion, enhance durability, and provide a smooth, professional finish.
-
Improved Surface Quality: Longevity and appearance all start with an ideal substrate surface. Mechanical Blast abrasion can give you the ideal surface for powder application. It ensures a consistent, even surface, which enhances the ability for powder to adhere properly, achieving a smooth, durable finish.
-
Corrosion Prevention: By removing rust, old coatings, and other impurities, blasting prevents corrosion and extends the life of the part. A clean metal surface, when powder coated, provides better resistance to moisture, peeling, chipping, and other environmental factors.
-
Refinishing: Blasting rejuvenates worn or damaged parts by removing imperfections and rust, giving them a consistent profile pattern ready for refinishing.

How does Blasting work?
-
Blasting involves using high-pressure systems to clean and prepare metal surfaces. Compressed air generates a high-pressure stream that propels abrasive media at high speeds toward the metal part. Abrasive Blasting removes contaminants such as rust and old coatings, creating a clean uniform profile for refinishing.
What parts need blasting?
-
New Parts: Blasting is used on new metal parts to remove dirt, mill scale, rust, and laser oxide and prepare them for powder coating or other surface treatments.
-
Old or Worn Parts: It is commonly used to refurbish old parts by removing rust, paint, and surface scratches, giving them a clean uniform profile for refinishing.
-
Parts with Surface Imperfections: Any metal part that requires an even, clean surface for optimal coating or finishing benefits from abrasive blasting, ensuring it is ready for powder coating or painting.
