Abrasive blasting is a critical first step in proper surface preparation. At TriNu Powder Coating, we use controlled abrasive blasting methods to clean and profile metal surfaces while preserving the integrity of the base material. This process creates the foundation for consistent adhesion and long-lasting coating performance.

Our Sand Blasting Process
Our sand blasting process follows a structured, step-by-step approach to ensure surfaces are properly cleaned and prepared for coating. Each stage is handled with care and consistency to support strong adhesion and long-lasting results.
01
Inspection & Material Review
Each part is evaluated to understand the material type, surface condition, and level of contamination. This initial review helps determine the appropriate blasting approach for safe and effective surface preparation.
02
Surface Preparation Setup
Blasting parameters are established based on the part’s material and condition to ensure consistent cleaning while protecting the integrity of the base metal.
03
Controlled Sand Blasting
Sand blasting is performed using controlled techniques to evenly remove rust, coatings, corrosion, and surface contaminants. This step creates a uniform surface profile that supports reliable coating adhesion and durability.
04
Final Quality Check
After blasting, each part is inspected for cleanliness, surface consistency, and overall preparation quality. Only parts that meet our standards move forward to the next phase.

FAQS
Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions about our industrial powder coating process and capabilities.
1. What is abrasive blasting used for?
Abrasive blasting is used to remove rust, paint, corrosion, and surface contaminants from metal. It creates a clean, properly profiled surface that allows coatings like powder coating or paint to adhere better and last longer.
2. Will abrasive blasting damage my parts?
No. When done correctly, abrasive blasting is safe for metal surfaces. We carefully inspect each part and select the appropriate blasting media and pressure to clean the surface without damaging the base material.
3. What types of materials can be abrasive blasted?
Abrasive blasting is commonly used on steel, aluminum, iron, and other metals. It can be performed on parts of various sizes and shapes, from small components to larger industrial pieces.
4: Is abrasive blasting required before powder coating?
It depends on the condition and type of metal. Some projects require abrasive blasting to remove rust, coatings, or heavy contamination, while others—such as certain aluminum parts—may be properly prepared using alternative methods like chemical etching. Each project is evaluated individually to determine the appropriate surface preparation needed to support proper adhesion and long-term coating performance.
