  FAQs

Do you need special sand for a sand blaster?

No, abrasives which contain more than 1% free silica are forbidden. In the past, blast cleaning operations were done with silica sand. The term sandblasting originates from those days.

What type protection should be used when sand blasting?

An abrasive-blasting respirator must cover the wearer's head, neck, and shoulders to protect the wearer from rebounding abrasive. Workers must use only respirators approved by NIOSH to provide protection from dusts produced during abrasive-blasting operations.

How much pressure does a sandblaster need?

What Air Pressure Is Needed for Sandblasting? 50 PSI is the very minimum needed for the blast pot. This will enable the internal pot to pressurise and the pop-up valve to close. To provide the most effective amount of blasting, the pressure of the pot will normally be in the 60 to 80 PSI range while working.
