Rust Removal Waikato

High quality and specially engineered machines are used to carry out sandblasting that is constructed in three parts namely the abrasive or sandblasting tank, the blaster nozzle and the air compressor. All of them perform specific functions in a combination that cleans a surface. Once the rust removal Waikato is done, another service known as the coating is performed on the materials to protect them from corrosion caused due to the exposure to water, chemicals, and other corrosive environments. The coating can also be used to fireproof the materials. It is undertaken through a specialized paint that contains polymers such as epoxy, moisture-cure urethane, polyurethane, and fluoropolymers. These polymers help in protecting the metals from external factors like weather, soil, and water.

Some commercial or industrial metal/steel items that we blast that often contain unwanted rust or corrosion include truck chassis, tractors, farming equipment and machinery, underbody automotive plates, bases of boats, structural beams and pipes, rusty rooftops and steel poles/bridges with rusty bolts to name a few. Anything metal/steel exposed to the weather elements often experience this wear and tear over time. We will come to the property or business site, and avoids the transportation of any heavy gear offsite to be blasted. There are also some cases where the item can not easily be removed.

First and foremost, you need to cover your skin, with a full body is the best option. If you don’t have them, you can always buy them at your local paint store at surprisingly low costs. These are usually made of paper or very thin fabric for swimming pool sandblasting. Thick gloves are also an absolute must during the whole process. You should choose a pair which extends as far as your arms as possible. When you are buying gloves, make sure you get leather ones and leave no skin exposed between your glove and sleeve. Your primary concern should be to protect your face. At the very least, you should wear goggles to protect your eyes; a full face mask will be an even better option.
