Vapor Blasting

Vapor blasting (also referred to as Vapour/Vapor Honing, Vapour/Vapor cleaning, or wet blasting), is an advanced form of sandblasting. Using a calculated mixed media with a formulated water source allows for an unparalleled finish that is unmatched by traditional dry sandblasting. We are a shop made up of a staff of enthusiasts, and recognizing a hole in the market we sought out the absolute best technology possible to restore and refinish your parts. 

Unlike Sandblasting, it is impossible for the base material or dirty media to impregnate the surface of the blasted material, so a clean technically pure finish is provided which is ideal for a variety of applications. This is especially prudent for close tolerance items, and why Dry Blasting is banned from the Aerospace Industry. Whether it is Aluminum, Magnesium, Steel, Rubber, Plastic, or a variety of other compounds, we are here to Restore, Refinish and Renew your Products to their most raw honed finish. 

Vapour Blasting Removes:

  • Corrosion
  • Grease & Oil
  • Carbon Deposits  
  • Other Contaminants, Chemicals and Residues
  • Minor Casting Marks

Examples of Vapour Blasting Applications:

  • Overspray Removal on Rubber Parts
  • Removing Carbon Deposits inside a Cylinder Head
  • Refinishing and Renewing Aluminum and Magnesium Parts
  • “Honing” Metal
  • Hardware Restoration
  • Fine Metal Restoration
  • Plastic Restoration
 

Vapor Blasting vs. Dry Blasting: a Case Study

Both wheels were blasted with an identical mix of media. The Vapor Blasted wheel (Left) shows no marks of impregnation from base media or contaminants, displaying a satin sheen raw finish closest to raw cast aluminum. The Dry Blasted wheel (right) features pores full of media, and the finished product is dull and unevenly finished.
