Sandblasting is the process of forcibly propelling a stream of sand (or other abrasive material) through a nozzle against a metal surface under high pressure in order to remove completely or partially the surface contaminants, enabling as well to roughen the surface for better coating adhesion.

• Creates surface of high purity, free from paint and oxidation products.
• Provides high cleaning performance.
• Achieves proper surface for the subsequent application of the coating.
• Provides flexibility and adaptability to different applications or locations.

Hydro-blasting is the method of cleaning the surfaces of various materials (eg steel, stone, cement, plastic and wood) through the jet of water from a special tool (gun) with extreme pressure.

Eagle Marine S. A. provides with this process an excellent bonding surface for material repair and new coating applications. Moreover, it relies entirely on the energy of water striking on a surface to achieve its cleaning effect with no abrasive materials being involved. Consequently, with the problems of dust pollution and disposal of abrasives eliminated we have an environment-friendly alternative of sand-blasting.
