The process of sandblasting is the act of propelling very fine pieces of material (usually sand) at high speeds towards a surface. This removes the topmost layer of material on the surface, and leaves it with a clean, smooth finish. Sandblasting is usually performed by using a machine that consists of a chamber in which the object to be blasted is placed, and a nozzle through which the blasting material is propelled. The blasting material can be either solid (such as sand), liquid (such as glass beads), or gaseous (such as carbon dioxide).
The process of sandblasting is performed by a contractor who uses a large machine to shoot a pressurized stream of sand at high speeds to remove paint, rust, or other debris from the surface of a object. It is often used on metal surfaces to clean and prepare them for painting, but it can also be used on other materials like wood, plastic, and concrete. The tools required for sandblasting include the blasting machine itself, safety gear like goggles and a respirator, and the sand itself. The contractor will also need a place to set up the machine and store the sand.
