In the world of surface preparation, sand blasting and sponge blasting stand out for their effectiveness and versatility. This comprehensive guide explores both techniques, detailing their unique advantages and applications. Sand blasting is known for its speed, cost-effectiveness, and ability to remove rust, paint, and corrosion. However, it poses health and environmental risks due to silica dust. Sponge blasting, a newer and eco-friendly alternative, uses sponge media impregnated with abrasives, generating minimal dust and reducing health hazards. Although initially costlier, it offers precise control and waste reduction.
