Introduction

Shot blast concrete is a process that involves the use of shot blasting technology to treat concrete surfaces. Shot blasting is a method where small steel shots (or other types of abrasive media) are propelled at high speed onto the surface of the concrete. This technique is widely used in the construction industry for various purposes such as surface preparation, cleaning, and profiling of concrete surfaces.

Applications

1.Surface Preparation for Coatings :

Before applying any protective coatings (such as epoxy coatings, polyurethane coatings, etc.) to a concrete surface, it is essential to ensure that the surface is clean and properly profiled. Shot blasting can remove contaminants like oil, grease, dirt, and old paint residues from the concrete surface.

2.Cleaning :

Concrete surfaces can accumulate a lot of dirt and grime over time, especially in outdoor environments. Shot blasting can effectively clean these surfaces without causing significant damage to the concrete itself.

3.Profiling for Overlayments :

When applying concrete overlays (such as self - leveling overlays or thin - bed overlays) to existing concrete surfaces, a proper surface profile is necessary. Shot blasting can create the desired profile by removing a thin layer of the concrete surface.
