Surface preparation for long coating lifetime

A well-known disadvantage of iron and steel is the fact that it rusts – one of the better-known forms of corrosion. In order to optimise the life of expensive installations and constructions and to create a higher return on investment, iron and steel are usually protected against corrosion by means of one or more layers of protective coating or similar products. Before applying such a protective coating, one must thoroughly prepare the surface to create the best possible adhesion between the surface and the coating. One of the most effective methods of surface preparation is abrasive blastcleaning.

A proper preparation of the surface is essential. Even the best protective coating systems are never better than the quality of the preceding surface preparation. In most cases, premature failure of the protective coating system is caused by improper or sub-standard surface preparation. Therefore, Eurogrit BV is specialised in the production and supply of a complete range of high quality abrasives to ensure proper performance of expensive protective coating systems.

Sandblasting and the health risks involved

Even today, people use the word ‘sandblasting’. However, in many cases this description is no longer correct. In the past, sand was used as an abrasive. In The Netherlands, however, the Silicosis Law was enacted in 1957, incorporating the so-called ‘Sandblasting Decree’. According to this law it was, from then on, forbidden to use material containing more than 1% free crystalline silica for blastcleaning.

Eurogrit BV was one of the first to introduce alternative safe blastcleaning media and has in the meantime become a market leader in The Netherlands as well as abroad.
