At Quality Environmental, Inc., we understand the importance of maintaining a clean construction site before, during and after a project. We offer bead blasting in Los Angeles as part of our customized, cost-effective cleanup solutions for construction projects of any size. Bead blasting is a type of abrasive blasting service that uses tiny metal beads to clean impurities from concrete surfaces. Abrasive cleaning is performed by shooting beads at a surface using air pressure. Metal beads used in the process can vary in size and cut for different surface textures after blasting. Larger beads produce a coarser, more conductive surface. Smaller beads produce a smoother, shinier finish. Sharp-cut beads can be useful for heavy duty cleaning. Round beads are gentler on metal surfaces. What Are the Advantages of Bead Blasting? Types of Bead Blasting Blasting may be performed for several different reasons. Beads are used for different types of blasting, including: Cleaning: Removing dirt, grime, and other substances caked on the surfaces Deburring: A method of smoothing rough surfaces that wears away bits of metal, such as those left from welding How Is Bead Blasting Used in Construction? During construction, bead blasting is used to remove contaminants by applying fine beads to surfaces at high pressure. We use bead blasting on construction sites to safely remove contaminants such as: Lead-based paint Mold Asbestos How Bead Blasting Compares to Sand Blasting While bead blasting is a safe, environmentally friendly process, sand blasting poses a major health risk for personnel. Sand contains silica, and when silica is inhaled, it can lead to silicosis. This is a condition involving scarring of the lungs that makes it difficult to breathe. Sand used in blasting is not recyclable: Beads used in bead blasting can be re-used several times. After sand goes through the machinery once for blasting, it turns into a fine powder with no abrasive properties. Bead blasting is more effective for removing contaminants and more versatile than sand blasting. Unlike beads, sand has high moisture content and impurities that can cause erosion and blockages in machinery and lead to equipment failure. (866) 230-5451 Submit 13123 Lakeland Rd., Ste.
