When surfaces are not properly prepared, the risk of coating failures will be very high. You can reduce the risk by practising proper surface preparation techniques.

In May this year, GMA was one of the speakers at the Surface Preparation Workshop by NACE in Pasadena, Texas in USA which aimed to help participants learn from industry leaders across the Gulf Coast.

GMA presented on the types of blast media, and the importance of using high quality garnet abrasives to obtain a clean and well prepared surface for coating.

Participants comprising coating applicators, inspectors, contractors and those who are new to the coating market also learned about surface cleaning and finishing, abrasive blasting methods, surface preparation and testing equipment, as well as health and safety benefits of using a quality abrasive.
