Industrial Painting

Surface Preparation

Abrasive Blasting

Abrasive Blasting is one of the most commonly used methods for heavy-duty cleaning of industrial facilities. This process involves using pressurized air to propel grain size materials into a fine stream at an extremely high speed to create a riveting force.  

Abrasive Blasting is used for all kinds of applications, most commonly used for the removal of paint, rust and heavy contaminants from metal and concrete surfaces. Performance Painting Contractors has the equipment and experience to provide quality abrasive blasting to ensure the surface is properly cleaned and ready for coatings.

Abrasive Blasting can be dangerous if the operator is not properly trained and using the proper equipment. Performance Painting Contractors strongly believes in the safety of its team members and customers.  We invest heavily in continuing education and training for our staff to ensure proper techniques are used.

Water Blasting

Industrial projects often need the assistance of a thorough water blasting. Often this is a step before Abrasive Blasting as abrasive blasting is more of a final stage in the preparation of concrete flooring or surfaces. But that is not the only reason many industrial facilities use water blasting.

Some common projects that require water blasting are: removal of grease, removal of epoxy flooring, popcorn ceiling removal just to name a few.

Waterblasting is often used by painting companies to provide a very high pressure “blast” that will blast away items like concrete, large rocks, brick, and cinder blocks. Waterblasting is used mostly in reconstructing and/or renovating large industrial buildings or facilities. By using the water blasting method, it ensures that the concrete casings aren’t washed off or that surfaces are not damaged.
