Improved surface preparation or ‘keying’ of component surfaces can be achieved using bead, Aluminium Oxide, Chilled Iron to name a few.

Blasting is also able to achieve an optimum surface profile for improved coating adhesion, which leads to subsequent improvements in performance and lifespan of machine cutting tools and drills.

A light surface etch improves bonding to smooth substrates and is often used in the automotive interior and trim market to aid bonding of veneers, plastic and rubber to superstructures.
