Media blasting is a process that uses pressurized air to shoot pieces of an abrasive material (known as blasting media) out of a nozzle. The force of the blasting media can strip paint, rust, or other blemishes from the target. Think of it as pressure washing with small particles instead of (or in addition to) water.
Media blasting has wide applications in commercial and industrial restoration. Media blasting is effective for graffiti removal, corrosion restoration, and paint stripping. By reducing the blasting pressure, it is possible to strip softer surfaces like wood or plastic without damaging the base material.
