Wet blasting, sometimes referred to as vapor blasting is the process for removing a coating layer (e.g. paint, rust, dirt) from a surface, or preparing a surface for recoating using pressurised water and abrasive blast media.
WET BLASTING IN THE AEROSPACE INDUSTRY
One big advantage of wet blasting is that it enables the user to control the blasting process and this is especially important when dealing with high-precision manufacturing applications often used in the aerospace industry.
Wet blasting can be used for surface preparation during the manufacturing or repairing various aircraft parts and components, including engine turbines and landing gear equipment.
Another reason why it is commonly used in the aerospace industry is its ability to produce a consistent finish on surfaces. Components used in the aviation and aerospace sector are required to meet extremely high standards and wet blasting helps to ensure these standards are met time after time.

Low Friction and Dry Film Lubrication Coatings
Low friction coatings are a popular type of industrial coatings and are widely used for many engineering applications. They provide dry lubrication and low coefficient of friction to mating surfaces enabling machinery to run smoothly, efficiently and reducing downtime.
Semiconductor Halar ECTFE Coated Ductwork and Pipework Systems
A leading expert in the high-volume production of semiconductor components required ductwork coated in Halar ECTFE. We were able to provide high-quality coatings on a constricted timescale.
Hydrogen Engines and PTFE
We recently had the opportunity to work with Brunel University, creating PTFE corner seals used in a Wankel Hydrogen engine.
