Sandblasting is an industrial surface cleaning technique based on the projection of sand together with pressurized air. Sand was the traditional abrasive, from where the name originated. It is also known worldwide as sandblasting.

Today there are many other abrasives that have replaced it, because the sandblasting process is considered highly harmful to the health of operators. Modern systems of particle projection by compressed air, sandblasting equipment or shot blasting, work interchangeably with any type of abrasives.

This allows, using the same equipment, to select the appropriate abrasive for each type of job. It is essential to know that both blasting, sandblasting and sandblasting equipment that throw abrasives at high speed require safety standards and protective equipment specially formulated and designed to perform these tasks. When work processes and methods are adequate, work is safe. However, when the necessary precautions are not taken, the people who work in the process may suffer serious consequences that could be avoided by following a series of appropriate guidelines and recommendations.
