Composite surface finishing without risk of damage

Dry blasting, brush finishing, peel ply, wet and dry abrasive papers and other types of finishing can result in damage to composite fibres, that in turn can compromise the integrity of the component.

The danger of this is increased when operator error is taken into consideration, dry blasting for too long for example.

Thanks to the buffering effect water creates between abrasive particles and the surface, composite fibres are not damaged when wet blasted (or vapor blasting to give it its other name).
