Blast cleaning can be used to remove paint or corrosion from a variety of steel surfaces. Ornate metal railings can be cleaned back ready to be re-painted.

We can work to a commercial standard or to SAE 3 depending on the contract. We will blast clean back to white metal or simply flash over the surface to remove light rust.

Sandblasting levels, defined by the ISO 8501-1 standard for steel surface preparation, are categorized from Sa 1 (Light Blast Cleaning) to Sa 3 (Blast Cleaning to White Metal). These grades indicate the degree of cleanliness by describing the removal of rust, mill scale, and foreign matter, with Sa 3 being the most thorough and resulting in a uniform metallic appearance.

Here’s a breakdown of the different levels:

  • Sa 0: No Preparation
    • This is the baseline condition where no surface preparation has been performed.
  • Sa 1: Light Blast Cleaning
    • Loose mill scale, rust, and foreign matter are removed from the surface.
    • However, adhering residues of these contaminants may remain.
  • Sa 2: Thorough Blast Cleaning
    • Most of the mill scale, rust, and foreign matter are removed, but some firmly adhering contamination may still be present.
    • The surface appears mostly free from impurities but may show small, tightly adhering discolored spots.
  • Sa 2.5: Very Thorough Blast Cleaning
    • The surface is free from oil, grease, dirt, and practically all mill scale, rust, and foreign matter.
    • Only slight traces of contamination, appearing as slight stains in the form of spots or stripes, are allowed.
  • Sa 3: Blast Cleaning to White Metal
    • This is the highest level of cleanliness.
    • The surface is completely free from all visible oil, grease, dirt, mill scale, rust, and foreign matter.
    • It achieves a uniform metallic or silver appearance.
