Eco FriendlyOur sandblasting service meets Australian Standards (AS1627.4 Class 2.5). Our new, state of-the-art blasting booth, allows us to carefully blast items ranging from the most delicate parts up to shot blasting large steel frames. We can blast large items up to 7.5m long and 3m wide.
Doogood recommends that a zinc rich primer is added to the process, as a protective undercoat for the abrasive blasting of ferrous materials, to avoid future corrosion. A zinc based primer is essential in protecting exposed surfaces as powder coating is a porous coating, which means that over time moisture may penetrate the top coating and attack the substrate material, which in turn, will start the process of corrosion and may cause the powder to lift or peel.
A zinc primer prevents moisture from reaching the steel and stops the spread of damage to the decorative top coating. The addition of this process affords the product a much longer operational life. Alternatively, an epoxy based primer is also available and is recommended for non-ferrous substrates to prevent oxidisation such as ‘white rust’ as is seen in aluminium.
