Sand Blast
A cleaning process that uses sand propelled at high speeds through an air blast to clean or roughen a surface. This technique, also known as abrasive blasting, is commonly used in industries for surface preparation, paint removal, cleaning rust, and etching. The sand particles strike the surface, effectively removing contaminants, corrosion, or old coatings. It is often used on metal, stone, glass, and other hard materials.
