1
Coating adhesion
Prepare steel surfaces with the profile needed for primer, paint or protective coating systems.
Application Solution
Shipbuilding & Steel Structure Surface Preparation
Abrasive media selected for rust removal, mill scale cleaning, weld area preparation, and surface profiling before marine or protective coating systems.
Rust
Remove corrosion and old surface contamination before coating.
Scale
Clean mill scale on plates, beams and fabricated steel parts.
Profile
Create anchor profile for stronger coating adhesion.
Life
Support longer coating life in marine and outdoor environments.
What shipyard and steel fabricators care about
The key question is not only whether the surface looks clean, but whether it reaches the required cleanliness, profile and consistency for coating performance.
2
Heavy rust and scale
Remove corrosion, mill scale and old coating residues from plates, beams and welded structures.
3
Large-area efficiency
Support predictable blasting speed for hull sections, bridge parts and structural steel members.
4
Media durability
Reduce breakdown and consumption in continuous blasting rooms or wheel blasting lines.
Application Scope
From plate cleaning to heavy-duty coating preparation.
Shipbuilding and steel structure projects often require abrasive blasting to remove rust, mill scale, weld contamination and old coatings while creating a controlled anchor profile.
Hull section and ship block blasting
Bridge and structural steel preparation
Mill scale and oxide removal
Weld area and edge cleaning
Marine coating pre-treatment
Heavy corrosion maintenance blasting
Recommended abrasive media
For shipbuilding and steel structures, product choice usually depends on required cleaning grade, anchor profile, coating system and blasting equipment.
Best For Profile
Steel Grit
Angular media for aggressive rust removal, mill scale cleaning and creating a rough profile for coating adhesion.
