Blasting
applications for CONCRETE &
MASONRY
Concrete and masonry surfaces require effective, precise and dust-controlled blasting methods to remove contaminants, prepare surfaces for coatings, or restore historic materials. Eclipse Surface Technologies’ abrasive blasting equipment provides a powerful yet eco-friendly solution for concrete cleaning, resurfacing, and restoration work. With wet and dry blasting options, our systems effectively remove paint, coatings, efflorescence, graffiti, and embedded contaminants without causing damage to the underlying structure.

Why Use Abrasive Blasting for Concrete & Masonry?
Abrasive blasting is one of the most efficient methods for cleaning, restoring, and preparing concrete and masonry surfaces. Unlike chemical stripping or pressure washing, abrasive blasting delivers precise surface profiling while minimizing environmental impact.

Effective Removal of Stains & Contaminants
Easily removes paint, sealants, epoxy coatings, and graffiti. Eliminates oil stains, dirt buildup, efflorescence, and other contaminants. Ideal for restoring sidewalks, bridges, parking garages, and building facades.

Surface Preparation for Coatings & Repairs
Ensures optimal adhesion for new coatings, overlays, and sealants. Creates a uniform profile for resurfacing or applying non-slip coatings. Works on concrete slabs, brickwork, fountains, cinder blocks and precast surfaces.

Dust-Controlled & Eco-Friendly Blasting
Wet abrasive blasting reduces airborne dust by up to 92%, improving safety. Uses less water and media compared to traditional pressure washing. Complies with OSHA and EPA regulations for environmentally responsible cleaning.

Safe for Delicate & Historic Surfaces
Can be adjusted for gentle cleaning of fragile masonry, stone, and brick. Removes contaminants without etching or damaging historic materials. Perfect for restoration of monuments, architectural details, and historic buildings.

Can abrasive blasting be used for decorative concrete finishes?
Yes! Abrasive blasting is commonly used to create custom textures and decorative finishes on concrete surfaces. By adjusting pressure and media type, contractors can achieve etched patterns, exposed aggregate looks, and uniform surface profiles for architectural and decorative concrete applications.
What type of blast media is best for blasting applications for concrete blasting?
For concrete cleaning, garnet, crushed glass, and coal slag are popular choices. For delicate masonry, walnut shell or baking soda provide gentler options.

Does wet blasting prevent damage to brick and stone?
Yes! Wet abrasive blasting controls heat and pressure, allowing safe cleaning of fragile surfaces without etching or pitting the material.
What industries benefit from concrete & masonry blasting?
Industries such as construction, commercial property maintenance, historic preservation, and municipal services rely on our equipment for surface restoration.
How does wet blasting compare to pressure washing?
Unlike pressure washing, wet blasting removes coatings, stains, and contaminants at a deeper level without excessive water use or damage to surrounding areas.
