Wet abrasive blasting (also known as vapour abrasive blasting) removes coatings, contaminants, corrosion and residues from hard surfaces. It’s similar to dry blasting, except that the blast media is moistened prior to impacting the surface.

The main advantage of vapour abrasive blasting over dry blasting is that it reduces dust, allowing for operators to work in a wide range of environments with minimal setup and clean-up costs. It results in a cleaner, more consistent finished, ready to coat, with no embedded particles or clinging dust.

Vapour abrasive blasting is alternatively referred to as wet blasting, wet abrasive blasting, vapour blasting, slurry blasting, wet sandblasting and dustless blasting.
