LJF Coatings provides professional blasting services as a critical first step in surface preparation. Blasting ensures optimal adhesion and performance of subsequent coatings by removing rust, scale, old coatings, and contaminants — creating a clean, textured surface profile.

What is Blasting?

Blasting is a mechanical process that uses abrasive media propelled at high velocity to clean and prepare metal surfaces. Depending on the material and end-use, different blasting methods (such as grit blasting or shot blasting) can be applied to meet required specifications and standards.

Key Features & Benefits

• Delivers Clean, Contaminant-Free Surfaces

• Provides Ideal Surface Profile for Coating Adhesion

• Removes Rust, Mill Scale, and Old Coatings

• Customisable Blast Grades (e.g. Sa 2.5)

• Suitable for Large and Complex Fabrications

Typical Applications

• Pipework and Spools

• Structural Steel

• Offshore Equipment

• Vessels and Tanks

• Heavy Fabrications

Why choose Blasting?

Blasting is essential for achieving maximum coating performance and durability. It forms the foundation for long-lasting protection by creating the right surface conditions for coatings to bond effectively — especially critical in the oil and gas industry.
