Construction of concrete
Routine building maintenance
Decorative etching
Graffiti or Paint removal
Rust removal from metal surfaces
Removal of oil, dirt, paint, grease, and oxides.
The prime danger related to sandblasting comes from the subjection to respiratory risks due to the splendid silica dust that results from the propelling of abrasive blasting particles at high speeds against rough surfaces. However, if the workspace is not well-ventilated, the dust can accumulate in the lungs and trigger it.
Since Sandblasting includes the spattering of fast-traveling sand ad other wreckage in all directions, the particles have the potential to become just as rough to the skin as to the targeted surface.
