- Abrasive blast clean to Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1) / SP 10 (SSPC) / NACE No.2 minimum.
- Stainless steel, aluminium and other non-ferrous metals and alloys: use a non-metallic blast medium (e.g. corundum, garnet). Sweep blast to obtain a uniform, dense, well-defined profile without bare spots.
- In some cases, galvanised steel and stainless steel do not require surface roughening. Consult Hempel for advice.
- Stainless steel, aluminium and other non-ferrous metals and alloys: use a non-metallic blast medium (e.g. corundum, garnet).
