Wet Abrasive Blasting – The Smart Alternative to
Sandblasting in Rochester, NY
Upstate Eco-Blasting specializes in restoring and revitalizing surfaces in the Rochester, NY area, making them look as good as new.
How Our Wet Abrasive Blasting System Works
Wet glass bead blasting is a surface abrasive finishing process that uses high-pressure compressed air to clean, polish, or roughen a surface with glass beads and water. With our process, round glass beads are accelerated towards the surface at high speed. The water cushions the beads, preventing damage to the surface. The beads create small dimples in the surface, which scatter light to give the surface a satin-like appearance
Our Wet Abrasive Blasting System vs. Dry Sandblasting
There are several advantages of using our wet glass bead abrasive system over conventional dry sandblasting.
Better for the Environment
The water that is used with our system traps any dust particles and prevents them from escaping into the air, thus minimizing environmental contamination. On the other hand, dry sandblasting uses compressed air to propel abrasive particles like sand onto a surface without water, scattering a substantial amount of silica dust into the atmosphere.
Less Health Risks to Workers
With dry sandblasting, substantial amounts of silica dust is dispersed into the air. When inhaled, it can cause serious breathing problems, lung damage, scarring, and even lung cancer. In contrast, our system traps any dust particles that can harm workers or people in the immediate vicinity where the blasting is taking place.
​Smoother Surface Results
Dry sandblasting takes a more aggressive approach, which can lead to a rougher surface and substantial pitting. Whereas wet blasting with glass beads produces a smoother, more polished appearance and more optimal conditions for any type of additional applications that may be done.
