Abrasive blasting
Why choose us?
Abrasive blasting (commonly known as sandblasting) effectively prepares a metal surface by removing any corrosion or previous coating. This provides a clean profile for paint to adhere to and is crucial to the overall finish and longevity of a completed project.
Combined with precision wet coat painting or protective coatings, abrasive blasting:
-
extends the life and performance of equipment, machinery and structures
-
reduces the cost of repairs and replacement
Our Toowoomba premises boasts extensive under-cover storage and set-down areas.
-
We use a quality assured, environmentally sustainable steel grit GL-80 or alternative suitable abrasive medium in the blasting process.
-
We offer abrasive blasting services to Australian Standard AS1627.4 covering
Class 1, Class 2, Class 2.5 and Class 3 abrasive blasting.

Sandblasting in Toowoomba and the Darling Downs
From our purpose-built Toowoomba facility we sandblast assets for clients across the Darling Downs, Surat Basin and Roma. Drilling rigs, mud tanks, trailers, earthmoving equipment and structural steel up to 18 metres, all blasted to AS 1627.4 and inspected by our AMPP Level 2 accredited coating inspector.
Professional Workmanship
Why we coat within 24 to 48 hours of blasting
Freshly blasted steel is at its most vulnerable. Moisture, dust and salts in the air start working on it straight away, so the clean surface you paid for can start to go backwards before any paint goes on. Because we blast and coat in the same facility, your asset moves from blasting to priming inside that window.
Primed within 24 to 48 hours, then coated to your system and documented in a full Material Data Report.
Hold point: surface profile, cleanliness and conditions checked and recorded.

Quality Assurance
We conduct thorough quality and integrity inspections to ensure all items are in a suitable condition for surface finishings that consistently meet our client's expectations.
Masterblasters works with a network of high performance welders and fabricators to undertake repair work when required. Minor maintenance repairs can be performed on site.
Our operational management systems ensure responsive and reliable turnaround times.
Abrasive blasting reduces the effects of corrosion and other forms of abrasion caused by operating in environments with excessive heat and UV, exposure to chemicals and other corrosive elements.
