A process or treatment in which tiny grains of sand are sprayed on the garment to create a worn in look and a softer hand.
A process for cleaning metal and other surfaces using sand in a high-pressure air stream. The sand is blasted against a surface to remove paint or contaminants. This process is also called abrasive blasting.
A blast of air or steam laden with sand, used for decorating an acrylic surface. Can be done on entire surface with or without special patterns.
a method for carving the surface of a material, particularly glass and stone.
A procedure in which sand particles are blown with compressed air at a pavement surface to abrade and clean the surface. Sandblasting is a construction step in partial-depth patching and joint resealing.
A surface treatment for glass obtained by blasting the glass with hard particles to obscure one or both surfaces of the glass.The effect is to increase obscurity and diffusion. but it can make the glass weaker and harder to clean.
A method used to remove layers of glass. A cloudy dull finish will result with every layer removed. Some artist use the sandblasting process to remove enough glass to actually go through the glass for different effects.
The products are blasted from an original with images, patterns or designs of differing dephts. Used on a wide range of products.
A laundry process in which unwashed jeans are sprayed with sand or chemicals to give the jeans a worn appearance.
Use of pressured air to propel sand or aluminum oxide grit in a controlled way so that glass may be sculpted away. Requires some type of breathing protection whether a NIOSH rated mask, a closed rebreathing system or a controlled atmosphere like a sandblasting box. Small inexpensive systems using "canned" air can be used for small projects.
A method for decorating glass or wood. A rubberized stencil of the artwork is either hand- or computer-cut and applied to the substrate, which is then sprayed with a pressurized stream of sand or synthetic particles to texture the areas unprotected by the stencil. Once the desired depth has been achieved on the item being blasted, the stencil is removed, and if on wood, the surfaces may be painted.
A process in which sand is blown by air or steam to remove paint.
A method for decorating glass or wood wereby a pressurized stream of sand is sprayed to texture areas of a substrate. Also used with urethane substrates.
A method of scarifying the surface of concrete or masonry to provide a bondable surface. Compressed air is used to propel a stream of wet or dry sand onto the surface.
An abrasive way of cleaning stone work.
High-pressure air mixed with sand applied to the surface of glass to carve texture.
A method of abrading or profiling a surface with a stream of sand ejected from a nozzle at high speed by compressed air. (Also see abrasive blasting.)
A special glass treatment in which sand is sprayed at high velocities over the surface of the glass.
Another form of glass abrading.
Cleaning a surface by blowing sand particles.
A method of etching the surface of a material by spraying it with compressed air and sand.
The process of removing glass or imparting a matte finish by bombardment with fine grains of sand that are propelled by compressed air.
Sandblasting or bead blastingWhile bead blasting is technically a different process, many industrial employees use the two interchangeably is a generic term for the process of smoothing, shaping and cleaning a hard surface by forcing solid particles across that surface at high speeds; the effect is similar to that of using sandpaper, but provides a more even finish with no problems at corners or crannies. Sandblasting can occur naturally, usually as a result of the particle blown by the wind causing eolian erosion, or artificially, using compressed air. An artificial sandblasting process was patented by Benjamin Chew Tilghman on October 18, 1870.
