Wet abrasive blasting equipment, sometimes called vapor honing, uses a pressurized slurry of water and abrasive media to clean and finish surfaces. This process gently removes contaminants like rust, paint, and coatings without damaging the underlying substrate. Potential applications span various industries, from automotive restoration to delicate electronics cleaning.
This technology offers several advantages over traditional dry blasting. The water cushion reduces friction and heat, minimizing distortion and embedding of abrasive particles. The process also suppresses dust, creating a safer and cleaner work environment. Furthermore, the precision offered by this method makes it suitable for delicate items requiring a fine finish. Historically, this technology evolved from the need for a more controlled and less aggressive blasting method, and its popularity continues to grow due to its versatility and environmental friendliness.
