Corn Cob Blasting
Corn cob blasting is a process used for cleaning, stripping, and preparing surfaces by using finely ground corn cobs as an abrasive media. It's a relatively gentle and environmentally friendly method compared to other abrasive blasting techniques, such as sandblasting.
The process involves propelling finely ground corn cob particles at high velocity onto a surface to remove paint, rust, dirt, and other contaminants. The abrasive action of the corn cob particles helps to scrub away unwanted materials while being less likely to damage the underlying surface compared to more aggressive methods like sandblasting.
Corn cob blasting is commonly used in various applications, such as:
2. Automotive: Corn cob blasting can remove paint and rust from automotive parts and surfaces without warping or pitting metal.
3. Industrial Equipment: It's used to clean machinery and equipment surfaces in industries where preserving the underlying material is important
4. Historic Restoration: Corn cob blasting is often used in restoration projects where gentle cleaning of historical structures and artifacts is required.
5. Household Items: It can also be used to clean items like brick, stone, and metalwork around the home.
