Shot Blasting vs Sand Blasting
When we say “sand blasting”, we really mean shot blasting. That’s because the process of sand blasting, using actual sand, was made illegal in the UK due to safety concerns in regards to silica dust. Despite this, the process of shot blasting is more commonly known as sand blasting. Fortunately, shot blasting is safer and more efficient than the sand blasting process it replaced.
In the past, sand was used for any abrasive blasting work due to how readily available it was. The silica dust produced from using sand is the hazardous part of the process, challenges arise from a heath and safety view when inhaled. In current times, a vast choice of modern abrasives are available to choose from which exceed the performance of sand. Along with this, the safety benefits offered by these abrasives make them more suited to modern industry.
