Shot blasting is a versatile method with multiple applications that play a vital role in surface preparation and line marking removal.

The Shot Blasting Process:

Shot blasting machines serve as the workhorses of this process, propelling thousands of small shot beads, as thin as 1mm, across the concrete floor's surface. This action dislodges a thin layer of concrete, creating a roughened surface that is ideal for line marking application. What's more, shot blasting is equally effective in removing unwanted line markings.

Recycling for Sustainability:

City Linemarking takes a sustainable approach to shot blasting. The process involves the recycling of loose concrete and shot beads. The dislodged concrete dust is collected by an attached vacuum, while the shot beads are recycled and reintroduced into the shot blasting machine for continued use. This ensures minimal waste and a more eco-friendly solution.

Two Primary Applications:

City Linemarking commonly employs shot blasting in two key scenarios:

A) Preparation of Line Marking on Polished Floors: For polished floors, preparing the surface for line marking is crucial. Painting on a smooth, polished surface is akin to painting on glass, leading to poor paint adhesion and quick dislodgement. Shot blasting machines are employed to create a rough surface that allows paint to grip securely, preventing flaking.

B) Removal of Line Marking: Shot blasting stands out as the most effective method for removing unwanted line markings. The process ensures a precise, clean removal of paint. Once the removal is complete, the treated surface can be further improved with a surface seal, blending it seamlessly with the rest of the floor.
