What Is Industrial Sandblasting — and Why It Matters

Industrial sandblasting is the process of using high-pressure abrasive materials to clean, strip, or prepare a surface — typically metal or concrete — by removing rust, mill scale, paint, and other contaminants. It’s one of the most critical steps in protecting and extending the life of valuable industrial assets.

But sandblasting isn’t something just anyone can do.

It’s a highly specialized task that requires the right equipment, proper training, and years of hands-on experience to do it safely, efficiently, and to spec. When done correctly, sandblasting is widely regarded as the best method of surface preparation for industrial coatings.

Why Surface Preparation and Abrasive Blasting Is Critical

A coating is only as good as the surface it’s applied to.

According to industry studies, up to 80% of coating failures are directly caused by inadequate surface preparation. That means the blasting work you do before applying a coating is often more important than the coating itself.

At NJ Reliable Coatings, our abrasive blasting process ensures:

  • Precise anchor profiles per coating specification (SP-5, SP-10, SP-6, etc.)
  • Complete removal of rust, mill scale, paint, and surface contaminants
  • Clean, properly profiled surfaces that support long-term coating adhesion and performance

Trusted. Proven. Environmentally Responsible.

We’ve safely completed thousands of sandblasting jobs for municipal, military, and industrial clients — always with a strong focus on safety, quality, and environmental responsibility.

Our process includes:

  • OSHA-certified crews with deep field experience
  • Full environmental containment systems to control dust, debris, and overspray
  • Use of environmentally conscious blasting media, including recycled abrasives and low-toxicity options whenever appropriate

Whether you’re restoring a corroded pipeline, prepping a water tank, or stripping structural steel, our sandblasting services are engineered to deliver durability, compliance, and peace of mind — every time.
