  The Process
  Vapormatting uses water and an abrasive medium accelerated from a nozzle with compressed air to provide a very effective environmentally friendly closed loop surface cleaning and conditioning process.
 
 
The abrasive particles used in the system can be as fine as talcum powder but due to the water carrier, no dust or static electricity  is created, and the water buffers and lubricates the particles on impact. allowing very fine finishes to be produced without damage to the component.
 
Bio-degradable degreasing compounds can be added to the water which further extends the capability of the process - in a single operation components can be degreased and super-finished.

Filters built into the machine remove on a continuous cycle the oil and blast debris.
 
  Many different types and sizes of abrasive media can be used; from Ruby hard alumina to soft plastic.
