  What is abrasive blasting ? Abrasive blasting that is also called sandblasting is a process in which compressed air or water is used to project a high-pressure stream of abrasive materials onto the surface. The purpose of this project is to roughen the smooth surface, smooth the hard surface, reshape it, remove rust and contaminants, and quickly clean surfaces for painting and texture application.   The different types of abrasive blasting : There is a range of  abrasive blasting  that uses different abrasive materials has different results and is used for different purposes. These are:   Sandblasting: In this technique, dry silica abrasive particles are projected at high velocities onto the surface. Silica or quartz is the abrasive material used in this blasting at high speeds. The consistency of the abrasive and its sharpness help in achieving the steadiness of finishing of surface. It is commonly used to remove any type of contaminants from the surface being prepared. It is design
