Performance Range

The patented Bristle Blaster^® Technology removes corrosion and coatings quickly and thoroughly. At the same time, the Bristle Blaster^® creates surface preparation grades comparable with Sa 2½ (SSPC-SP 10/NACE No. 2) to Sa 3 (SSPC-SP 5/NACE No. 1) and roughness levels of up to 120 µm R_z. Our technology offers numerous advantages over conventional methods of surface preparation:

Result

Removes corrosion, coatings, scale and adhesive residues
Surface preparation grade comparable with Sa 2½–3 per ISO 8501-1
Roughness levels of up to 120 ɥm R_z
Minimal loss of base material
Generates compressive residual stress across the treated surface for improved crack resistance, fatigue life and stress corrosion resistance
Surface free of thermal damage and traces of heat marking
Efficient removal of viscous coatings without smearing, gumming up or clogging the belt
