One of the key benefits of vapour blasting is its ability to clean and prepare surfaces without causing any damage. Unlike traditional dry blasting methods, which can leave behind scratches or etching, vapour blasting gently removes surface materials while also creating a smooth and consistent satin-like finish. This makes it ideal for use on delicate materials such as aluminium, stainless steel, brass, and copper.
Another advantage of vapour blasting is its versatility. It can be used for a variety of purposes, including cleaning, degreasing and surface preparation. This makes it a popular choice in industries such as automotive, aerospace, marine, and classic restoration.
While vapour blasting offers many advantages, it does have limitations when compared to other surface preparation methods. For example, it may not be able to completely remove heavily stained surfaces covered in rust, paint, or coatings due to its lower power. Additionally, the size of the parts that can be processed is restricted by the dimensions of the blasting cabinet. Vapour blasting is better suited for smaller volumes and is far less economical compared to rumbling for larger batch quantities due to the time needed.
