Surface Preparation
Guyson manufacture premium blast finishing equipment, highly suited for performing surface preparation on various components.
Benefits of Surface Preparation
Surface preparation is a critical process, in industries such as Aerospace and Medical, for treating the surface of a material prior to coating, to enhance the durability of the component, as well as the bonding to improve the mechanical bond strength.
- Improves the adhesion of coatings and treatments
- Prevents corrosion and further deterioration, extending the service life of the treated surfaces
- Improves the aesthetics of the surface
- Advances bonding to smooth substrates
Guyson’s Surface Preparation Examples
- Euroblast 7PF system, using White Saftigrit blast media, is utilised for fine etching plastic prior to bonding
- Euroblast 10 Side Loader PF systems blast cleaned valves before painting
- The Wheelmaster blasting process produces an even finish, with very precise localised etching, if required
- The Multiblast RSB, integrated with a Euroblast 7 manual cabinet provided surface preparation of gear cutting hobs prior to PVD hard ware coating
- Multiblast RXS900 utilised for surface preparation prior to anodising audio visual home entertainment systems
- Guyson’s Multiblast TR grit etched shell bearings to their desired, specific roughness
- Guyson’s Robotic Blast machine utilised for grit etching turbine blades prior to coating

How does surface preparation improve adhesion and coating performance?
Surface preparation improves adhesion and coating performance by removing contaminants such as dirt, rust and oils that would block bonding, leaving a profile primed for stronger adhesion.
Which Guyson shot blasting machines can be utilised for surface preparation applications?
Guyson manual shot blasting cabinets have been utilised for surface preparation applications, such as fine etching plastic prior to bonding, blast cleaning valves before painting and precise localised etching to achieve an even finish.
Guyson automated shot blasting systems have provided surface preparation capabilities for gear cutting hobs prior to PVD hard ware coating, audio visual home entertainment systems prior to anodising and grit etching shell bearings to their desired, specific roughness.
