					Standard Blasting Processes The Vapormatt Contract Process Centre is equipped with a range of manual and automatic surface finishing machinery. We can process your components utilising the following quality controlled processes: Dry blasting, Wet blasting, Bead blasting, Grit blasting, Vapour blasting, Vaqua blasting and Aqua blasting. Specialised Processes We have developed expertise (through both operational experience and focused process research and development) in a range of specialised processes that are tailored to particular surface requirements. Composite preparation for painting / bonding • Vapormatting gives a much more consistent   bonding than using   conventional dry blast,   peel ply or hand flatting techniques. • Resinous material can be removed without   damaging the fibres of the material. • The lightly matted surface is very “wettable”   and retains the evenly spread adhesive.   • The ever present water buffer prevents   impregnation of the resin surface. • A water break test to ensure consistency of   surface preparation is automatically carried   out on every part processed.   Die & mould cleaning . Our mould cleaning process using plastic   media or other materials suspended in a hot   aqueous cleaning jet, gently but thoroughly,   cleans moulds and dies without surface or   edge damage. . The Vapormatt mould cleaning process   minimises die and mould wear compared to   other cleaning methods so prolonging the   life of your tools.   . Many types of contamination can be   cleaned making our service suitable for   customers in the glass, metal forming and   plastic industries. . Our fast turnaround service allows tools to   be dispatched within 2 hours of receipt.   Cutting tool enhancement for post grinding, pre and post coating Tooling benefits • Superior cutting tool performance. • Stronger, longer lasting edges. • Smoother, lower friction surfaces. • Dramatically enhanced coating performance   due to combination of pre and post coating   treatments   Edge and face benefits • Consistent, controllable edge radii. • Semi polished faces. • Extremely clean and reactive surfaces. • Ideal pre / post coating treatment.   Wire, cable and strip processing for cleaning and surface engineering • Our linear strip cleaning process produces   a variety of cleaning effects to remove a   range of surface contamination from   continuous material. • Surface finishes and effects can be   consistently applied on new wire, cable   and strip products without the negative   effects of chemical or standard dry blasting   processes.   • Ideal for the reclamation of corroded or    contaminated material. • Can be used to promote high levels of   bonding for coatings and / or additional   functional layers of material..   Shot peening for fatigue life improvement The benefits of shot peening • Increased life of critical components    vulnerable to fatigue failure. • Wet and dry peening processes offered    according to requirements of your    pre-existing process specification. • Process parameter record sheets   maintained for all shot peening operations.   • Wet peening combines the benefits of    applying surface compressive stress, with the    advantage of a super fine non directional    surface finish. Such a combination can    inhibit crack propagation over and above    the simple effects of basic shot peening,    which can leave a contaminated and    deeply pitted surface. • Wet peening is inherently a clean process   and secondary surface contamination as seen    with dry peening is dramatically reduced or    eliminated entirely   Blacking for aesthetic enhancement of steel components Our blacking process provides a durable black finish that enhances the appearance and value of a wide range of manufactured articles. . The Vaporblack surface adds to the    perceived value of engineered / machined    products. . Vaporblacking provides an absorbent layer    ideal for subsequent oil or wax    impregnation thus offering enhanced    corrosion resistance.   . The process is a chemical conversion   treatment, not an additive process so   delicate tolerances are not compromised. . Operation at room temperature (18°C to    24°C) so thermal distortion and stressing    are eliminated   Phosmatting for rubber to metal bonding and sub coating corrosion protection A combined wet blasting and phosphating process in which a highly active mechanically cleaned surface is instantaneously exposed to an active phosphating solution, without the pre exposure to the oxidising effects of air. The benefits of Phosmatting • An extremely dense, fine structured crystal   lattice is formed in the process.   . The Phosmatt crystal lattice is tougher and    can withstand greater substrate deformation    without failure compared to conventionally    produced phosphate coatings. This makes    the process very suitable for rubber to metal    bonding applications where metal is    subsequently compressed to counteract    rubber shrinkage effects. . Re-phosphating of selected areas, without    tripping of the whole component, can be    achieved. This can be of advantage in    rustproofing applications e.g. small arms    repair and refurbishment etc.
					Cuts process costs and general factory overheads Surface finishing is a non-core activity for most firms. Sending your components to a Vapormatt Contract Process Centre frees up capital and floor space, and allows you to focus engineering, management and technical resources on core activities. Outsourcing these processes allows sophisticated treatments to be efficiently deployed even in low and medium volume production environments. By using our Contract Process Services you will maintain consistent and transparent process costing. This saves the need for your accounting systems to keep track of difficult to monitor hidden costs e.g. compressed air usage, maintenance, waste disposal costs etc. The Benefits Enhances flexibility of process We tailor the media and process recipes used according to the exact requirement of the surface. Constraints of using your own in house processing can lead to compromises as machines can only run one media. Dedicated machines reserved for ferrous, non-ferrous and composite components processing avoids the risks of cross contamination. Flexibility of production “One off” to mass produced products can be accommodated. Your per part costs remain consistent despite production volume variations. We provide professional expertise in logistics, quality control, process tracking and history recording. Our conscientious team can arrange to collect, process, and return your components operating to agreed schedules. Quality improvements Vapormatt have great expertise in the blasting and surface finishing fields and are acknowledged leaders particularly in the wet blasting technique. Our methods are continually evolving. We actively encourage process development in conjunction with our customers to develop new or enhanced manufacturing processes. The aim can be to improve quality, reduce cost or sometimes just to adapt a successful process to new component types or production quantities. Use of our contract process services gives you access to this continual process development and our experienced engineers, and skilled processes technicians. Headache cures Removing the blasting process from your factory eliminates the compliance issues relating to environmental, noise and health and safety, associated with dry blasting and other impact and component cleaning treatments. Use of our skilled workforce and automated process equipment avoids the need for you to provide manpower on an ad-hoc or causal basis to operate your own blasting equipment. We also offer: Next day service 2 hour Express service for mould and die cleaning
