Abrasive blasting or Sandblasting is the operation of forcibly propelling a stream of abrasive material against a surface under high pressure to remove existing coatings & or surface contaminants.
Compressed air is used to propel the blasting material (often called the media). There are several variants of the process, using various media; some are highly abrasive, whereas others are milder. The most abrasive are shot blasting (with metal shot) and sandblasting (with sand). Moderately abrasive variants include glass bead blasting (with glass beads) and media blasting with ground-up plastic stock or walnut shells and corncobs A mild version is sodablasting (with baking soda).
