Raspa Sand

Blasting sand is a special type of sand used for cleaning and surface preparation of metals in industrial applications, which is impacted on the surface with the help of high-pressure air. It is a different material from standard sands and is generally produced from materials with high abrasion properties such as silica sand, basalt sand, steel grit, iron grit.

Usage Areas of Blasting Sand

The main areas of use of blasting sand are as follows:

  • Rust and Old Paint Removal: Rust, burrs and old paint layers that form on metals over time can be easily cleaned with scraping sand.
  • Surface Preparation Before Welding: Sand blasting before welding improves the weld quality by roughening and cleaning the metal surface.

  • Sandblasting (Cleaning with Sand):The sandblasting method cleans the sand residues on the surface of the casting parts and removes burrs.
  • Preparation Before Galvanizing It creates a smooth and suitable surface for the coating to adhere to metals before galvanizing.
  • Cleaning of Casting Sands: Scraping sands play an active role in cleaning the sand residues stuck in the casting molds.
  • Construction Sector: Used for cleaning concrete, stone, metal surfaces and preparing special decorative surfaces.

Blasted Sand Types

  • Silica Sand: It is the most commonly used type of blasting sand. In addition to being economical, it is used in a wide variety of areas.
  • Basalt Sand: It has a harder structure than silica sand. It is preferred in applications that require deeper cleaning.
  • Steel Sand: It offers a cost advantage due to its high hardness and recyclable feature.
  • Iron Sand: Similar to steel sand but preferred in soft metal applications.

Advantages of Sand Blasting

  • Effective Cleaning: Blasting sand hitting the surface with air pressure provides very effective cleaning.
  • Quick Process: Large surfaces can be cleaned in a short time.
  • Various Surface Compatibility: Different metals as well as stone, concrete, etc. It can also be used on surfaces.
  • Improving Surface Preparation: Improves the quality of surface preparation before operations such as painting and coating.

Things to Consider in Sand Blasting Application

  • Safety: Occupational safety measures must be taken to prevent dust, noise and rebounding sand grains during the sandblasting process.
  • Selection of Appropriate Sand: Sand type should be determined by taking into account the type of metal, surface condition and desired result.
  • Professional Service: Correct application and use of sandblasting equipment is important for successful results.
